This was a very hard book to read. The book was not a page turner. I read it over a long period 3-4 months with lots of books in between. It is the story of Moss Hart’s love of the theater from a very early age and his long, long, long journey through the actual presentation of his first hit on Broadway – Once in a Lifetime. The play took him initially a few days to write and a year or so to get accepted for production and a year or nine months to rewrite, rewrite, rewrite to get into actual production and finally on to a Broadway hit. The book goes into great detail about lines and acts in the play but does not tell about what the play itself is about.
Moss Hart Poradie kníh
Moss Hart bol americký dramatik a režisér, ktorý majstrovsky zachytil ducha svojej doby na javisku. Jeho hry, často písané v spolupráci s Georgeom S. Kaufmanom, sa vyznačovali bystrým humorom a prenikavými postrehmi o ľudskej povahe. Hartovo písanie sa ponorilo do tém identity, ašpirácií a zložitých rodinných vzťahov, čo divákom ponúklo zmes smiechu a zamyslenia. Jeho schopnosť režírovať rozsiahle inscenácie, ako bola tá oceňovaná adaptácia klasického diela, upevnila jeho odkaz ako divadelnej ikony.
