Filled with oneonone interviews and entertaining anecdotes, OffOffBroadway Explosion explores the backstage stories and captivating history of the unusual venues and legendary personalities of the era.Readers will discover intimate accounts of the innovative Beat Generation playwrights who transformed the New York stage, such as Edward Albee, Sam Shepard, Lanford Wilson, Amiri Baraka, JeanClaude van Itallie, and many other artists whose legacy is still felt within theater halls today.
