Producing plays that reflected topical issues of the decade and giving a creative chance to actors, directors, and playwrights who were either fed up with or shut out of commercial theater, the 'Group' remains a permanent influence on American drama despite its brief tenyear life.It was here that method acting, native realism, and political language had their tryouts in front of audiences who anticipatedindeed demandeda departure from the Broadway 'showbiz' tradition. In this now classic account, Harold Clurman, founder of the Group Theatre and a dynamic force as producerdirectorcritic for fifty years, here recreates history he helped make with Lee Strasberg, Elia Kazan, Irwin Shaw, Clifford Odets, Cheryl Crawford, Morris Carnovsky, and William Saroyan.Stella Adler contributed a new introduction to this edition which remembers Clurman, the thirties, and the heady atmosphere of a tumultuous decade.
