Review
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Must have theatre bookBy Celise KalkeThis book is a great resource for the theatre enthusiastic; who wants to learn more about the geniuses behind productions; and absolutely vital for theatre practioners and students. Loewith not only captures these directors sharing tips on craft and career development; but gets to the essence of their artistic personality. Directors; especially great directors; are magnificent leaders with enormous personalities. Loewith shows the detail behind these generalizations. Also the combination of charisma; talent; emotional intellegince and intellectual rigor that shape Americas greatest stage directors.This is a huge contribution to the field and fun to read!
