I have two first edition books (with dust jackets) by two giants of today’s live theatre industry in America and the U.K.
1. “Joy Ride: Lives of the Theatricals” (2015) by John Lahr is a collection of his profiles and reviews that throws open the stage door, taking us behind the scenes both on and off Broadway to introduce such creators of contemporary drama as August Wilson, Arthur Miller, Stephen Sondheim, Tony Kushner, Wallace Shawn, and Mike Nichols. The result is a delightful, literate, and essential crash course in contemporary theatre. John Lahr was theatre critic of the “New Yorker” magazine for 20 years. This 570-page book is in near-new condition: there’s hardly a mark on it.
2. “Keeping On, Keeping On” (2016) by Alan Bennett brings together the hilarious, revealing, and lucidly intelligent writing of one of England’s best-known literary figures. The book comprises Bennett’s diaries from 2005 to 2015—with everything from his much-celebrated essays to his irreverent comic pieces and reviews—reflecting on a decade that saw four major theatre premieres and the films of The History Boys and The Lady in the Van. This 721-page book is in near-new condition except for a small mark on the frontispiece and light browning on the edge of the pages.
$10 each.
