Reader reviews for Unbalancing Acts: Foundations for a Theater

From the publisher

"Absolutely essential reading for anyone interested in theater, or indeed, the idea of culture in contemporary America."

--From the Foreword by Peter Sellars

"Like Brect, Foreman is a genius not only of the written drama and of directing, but of theory as well...He makes theater free us, turn us on, and prepare us for action. He has been my most important mentor, teaching me the most important things I know about the theater."

--Eric Bogosian

"Very important and enormously entertaining. Unbalancing Acts is easy to read, is accessible, and is full of good plays and good ideas about theater, about writing, and about the life of the mind."

--Richard Schechner

This compendium includes the plays The Cure, Film Is Evil: Radio Is Good, Symphony of Rats, What Did He See?, and Lava, as well as several essays on the craft.
