{"product_id":"the-fervent-years-harold-clurman-9780306801860","title":"The Fervent Years: The Group Theatre and the Thirties","description":"The Group Theatre was perhaps the most significant experiment in the history of American theater. 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 ten-year life.\u003cbr\u003eIt was here that method acting, native realism, and political language had their tryouts in front of audiences who anticipated--indeed demanded--a departure from the Broadway \"show-biz\" tradition. In this now classic account, Harold Clurman, founder of the Group Theatre and a dynamic force as producer-director-critic for fifty years, here re-creates history he helped make with Lee Strasberg, Elia Kazan, Irwin Shaw, Clifford Odets, Cheryl Crawford, Morris Carnovsky, and William Saroyan. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eStella Adler contributed a new introduction to this edition which remembers Clurman, the thirties, and the heady atmosphere of a tumultuous decade.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Harold Clurman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0306801868\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780306801860\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Da Capo Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/22\/1983\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 1.00d","brand":"Harold Clurman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44046305493247,"sku":"9780306801860","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_80b6b6a9-4e38-41fc-8790-9b5bbf63099c.jpg?v=1684983815","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-fervent-years-harold-clurman-9780306801860","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
