Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Arriving in New York at the tail end of what has been termed the "Golden Age" of Broadway and the start of the Off Broadway theater movement, Terrence McNally (19382020) first established himself as a dramatist of the absurd and a biting social critic. He quickly recognized, however, that one is more likely to change peoples minds by first changing their hearts, andin outrageous farces like The Ritz and Its Only a Playbegan using humor more broadly to challenge social biases. By the mid-1980s, as the emerging AIDS pandemic called into question Americas treatment of persons isolated by suffering and sickness, he became the theaters great poet of compassion, dramatizing the urgent need of human connection and the consequences when such connections do not take place. Conversations with Terrence McNally collects nineteen interviews with the celebrated playwright. In these interviews, one hears McNally reflect on theater as the most collaborative of the arts, the economic pressures that drive the theater industry, the unique values of music and dance, and the changes in American theater over McNallys fifty-plus year career. The winner of four competitive Tony Awards as the author of the Best Play (Love! Valour! Compassion! and Master Class) and author of the book for the Best Musical (Kiss of the Spider Woman and Ragtime), McNally holds the distinction of being one of the few writers for the American theater who excelled in straight drama as well as musical comedy.
