Dramatic Measures: Lessons from a Life in the Theater

A lively memoir about life in the theater and the movies filled with unusual advice, including tips on acting, directing, and working with playwrights, and discussions of what it takes to make it in the arts, Edward Albee's claim that most creative people are Democrats, and whether or not Meryl Streep really is a great actress. The author spent nearly 25 years as a professional stage director in New York and regional theater after attending the Yale School of Drama with such future movie and television stars as Frances McDormand, John Turturro, Roc Dutton, Angela Bassett, and Kate Burton. His observations and insights provide a unique peek at life behind the scenes and beyond the curtain for industry professionals and lovers of film, television and the theater alike.
