An essential record
Detailed, critical and politicised histories of off-Broadway are relatively rare, so this addition provides a welcome insight into how alternative theatre in New York developed and operated from the sixties to the early 21st Century. What's more, Poland's passion for the world of down-town venues enlivens even the most prosaic discussions of spreadsheets and bottom lines. Unlike many of the investors he derides in the commercial theatre today, he is genuinely invested in the creative process.
Often having to rebuild his career when risks don't pay off or his reputation suffers from a flop, his fierce determination to plough his own furrow is remarkable and his unflagging commitment to the shows he produces, manages and promotes inspiring. The sad thing is even he concedes that we shall not see his like again. The good news is we have this witty, entertaining and provocative account to treasure. Essential listening for anyone interested in the evolution of the producers, directors, playwrights, actors, critics and activists whose work has shaped American Theatre over the past 60 years.
