JOSEPH CHAIKIN:
Directors In Perspective

by Eileen Blumenthal

Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, (1984).

First edition; paperback issue; Trade paperback.

"First published 1984" statement to the copyright page.

Generously illustrated with more than 70 photographs of theater production scenes, theater workshops, and the director with actors.

Blumenthal draws extensively on Chaikin's and his collaborator's private notebooks, workshop records, and early drafts of plays; and a wealth of interviews for this study of the renowned 1960s experimental theater director, with insights and views into his rehearsals, methods, ideas, creative process, and play writing.

She also analyses and examines several of the produced plays and shows how his experiments developed and changed from the 1950s on.

Minor, tiny, surface abrasion and scratch to the lower rear spine fold, else very nearly fine and fresh in glossy stiff-card wraps with front cover photo-still from the Open Theater's production of 'Terminal'.
