Joy Ride Zusammenfassung

Joy Ride: Show People and Their Shows John Lahr

Since 1992 John Lahr has written for The New Yorker, where for twenty-one years he was the senior drama critic, the longest stint in that post in the magazine's history. Joy Ride is a collection of his profiles and reviews that throws open the stage door, taking us behind the scenes both on and off Broadway to introduce such creators of contemporary drama as August Wilson, Arthur Miller, Stephen Sondheim, Tony Kushner, Wallace Shawn, and Mike Nichols. The result is a delightful, literate, and essential crash course in contemporary theater.

Joy Ride Bewertungen

Chatty, learned and wittily opinionated, Lahr's essays bring us not only his passion for theater, but also his zest for the artistic and creative life. -- San Francisco Chronicle
Of lasting value....Lahr patiently mines the essence of his subjects-playwrights, directors-with the affection of a fan, the insight of a confidant and the authorial flair of an experienced critic...a delight to read. -- The Economist
John Lahr writes-beautifully-about the theatre and those who make it with an unrivalled blend of enthusiasm, perception, and analytical precision. This book is justly titled-his joy is irresistible. -- Nicholas Hytner
An important collection. -- Steven Suskin - Huffington Post
Engaging and loquacious company. -- The Guardian
Impressive, entertaining and insightful...so worth reading or worth reading a second time around. -- Michelle Jones - Dallas Morning News
Lahr...must be one of the world's foremost experts on show people....[he has] an ability to look past these authors' mythologies without demeaning their achievements. -- Jonathan Russell Clark - Literary Hub
100 years from now this is where people will look to see what it was like back then. Bravo! -- John Guare
