"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
