Cloth. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. Staging Steinbeck. At the 1987 Edinburgh Festival, the American Festival Theatre's production of Steinbeck's The grapes of Wrath won Peter Whitebrook and his collaborator Duncan Low a Fringe-First Award from The Scotsman for their adaption from the novel. This was the first time that this classic American epic study - Steinbeck's 1939 masterpiece - had been seen on stage in an authorised version anywhere in the world, and the production was a critical success for everyone involved. Adapting a well-known work for the theatre, especially one with such a powerful narrative as The Grapes of Wrath calls for a rare interpretative and dramatic skill. Peter Whitebrook's achievement is chronicled in this book, the diary he kept of his involvement in the project - a remarkable record of how he was gradually able to transform the novel into a play, noting on the way each little frustration, each insuperable obstacle, each minor triumph. He worked closely with Duncon Low, who had suggested the project, and later in rehersal with the director and the actors, continuing his diary right through the production until the set was struck, eleven months after he first began his adaption. Illustrated. 157 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
