Critics Review
“No critic has ever talked about theater … with more insight and passion. Earthy and sophisticated, imperious and droll, [Adler] had the gift of making plays written over 100 years earlier seem excitingly modern.” –The Los Angeles Times Book Review “Plunges you into the world of theater … [and] reveals Stella Adler as a literary and social analyst, Stella Adler as an acting teacher, and Stella Adler as a great personality.” –The New Republic
“These inspired lectures are evidence that Stella Adler is hands down the greatest acting teacher America has produced… . Nobody with a serious interest in the theater can afford to be without this book.” –John Guare
“One regrets never having seen [Adler] perform, but reading her on these writers, especially Chekhov, is the next best thing.” –The New York Times
