Show and Tell

Résumé du livre

From David Mamet to Ingmar Bergman, Frank Sinatra to Woody Allen, Roseanne Barr to Eddie Izzard, The New Yorker's resident drama critic John Lahr has had unparalleled access to the most elusive, compelling and irresistible public personas of our time.
In Show and Tell, Lahr - 'the most intelligent and insightful writer on theatre today' (The New York Times) - reinvents the celebrity profile to find the essence of performance. Lahr's gift is his understanding of both the art and the artist, to show how the work and the life intersect. He has had unusual access to his subjects, who talk to him with rare candour.
