Review
“Robert Knopf’s timely and unique anthology gathers some of the most important essays that bridge theater and film theory. It will prove to be an essential text on the subject.”—David Krasner, Associate Professor of Theater Studies and Director of Undergraduate Studies, Yale University
Product Description
This is the first book in more than twenty-five years to examine the complex historical, cultural, and aesthetic relationship between theater and film, and the effect that each has had on the other’s development.
Robert Knopf here assembles essays from performers, directors, writers, and critics that illuminate this ongoing inquiry. The book is divided into five parts—historical influence, comparisons and contrasts, writing, directing, and acting—with interludes by major artists whose work and words have shaped the development of theater and film. A comprehensive bibliography and filmography support further work in this area.
The book contains contributions from Susan Sontag, Stanley Kauffmann, Sarah Bey-Cheng, Bertolt Brecht, Ingmar Bergman, Harold Pinter, David Mamet, Julia Taymor, Judi Dench, Sam Waterston, Orson Welles, Antonin Artaud, and Milos Forman, among others.

Not Impressed,
This review is from: Theater and Film: A Comparative Anthology (Paperback)
I did not receive the book. I am not impressed at all with amazon.ca. I am a student and I need the book right away; I came here for a cheaper price, but ended up buying it full price anyway.

Cool book for those who want to work in theater and film,
A Kid's Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Theater and Film: A Comparative Anthology (Paperback)
This book covers everything from writing to directing to acting, from the people who started Hollywood to the people making it happen today. As a teenager interested in doing this when I grow up, I love that this isn't a book about the heartbreaks of the business, why I shouldn't do this with my life, or what I'm going to have to do to make it. It's simply about theater and film, through the eyes of some of the best people around. I loved reading it and it got me jazzed about doing this some day.
