About This Book

A series of short, comic portraits captures the routines and petty dramas of people who work on and behind the stage. The pieces observe directors, authors, actors, technicians and other backstage figures, exposing their vanities, anxieties, compromises and small strategic maneuvers during rehearsals and preparations. Episodes emphasize rehearsal quirks, last-minute textual fixes, tensions over timing and staging, and the choreography of egos, all rendered with wry irony and brisk anecdotal detail to present a lively panorama of theatrical life.
