Editorial Reviews
Review
‘New biography reveals US playwright’s unflattering views of contemporaries, by drawing on unpublished work’ – The Guardian
‘A new biography of him by John Bak revealing his privately expressed, sulphurous views of his rivals, of actors, of theatre directors and of audiences, not to say of humanity in general has just been published to coincide with the anniversary.’ – The Telegraph
