Joe Papp - An American Life

Informationen zum Autor Helen Epstein is a cultural journalist for New York, ARTNews, Esquire, and the New York Times , and author of the groundbreaking Children of the Holocaust. Klappentext Self-made impresario, controversial producer, contentious champion of human rights and the First Amendment, founder of the New York Shakespeare Festival, and unquestionably the most dynamic force in American theater in the last quarter century, Joseph Papp (1921-1991) changed forever America's cultural landscape. He was the first to demand and to provide--against enormous odds--free Shakespeare to the public, and the first to pioneer colorblind casting and minority-group theater.
