Title: The Play's the Thing.
Description: New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1960. Hardcover. DJ shows light wear with some browning and small open tears. Very light foxing to fore edge ; INSCRIBED to half-title page. Author Langner has an impeccable pedigree in the theater, having founded the Theater Guild and the American Shakespeare Festival. With his wife he started the respected Westport Country Playhouse and in 1958, won a Tony award for Sunrise at Campobello. In this book, each and every page is full of useful advice to the playwright, although the author rather disdains the recent 'realism' of the theater. Still, anyone who aspires to be or is in fact a playwright should read this ; 8vo; 258 pages. Very Good+ in Very Good dust jacket.
