Description

From its beginnings, the American film industry has profited from bringing popular and acclaimed dramatic works to the screen.

This is the first book to offer a comprehensive account, focusing on key texts, of how Hollywood has given a second and enduring life to such classics of the American theater as Long Day's Journey into Night, A Streetcar Named Desire and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

Each chapter is written by a leading scholar and focuses on Broadway's most admired and popular productions.

The book is ideally suited for classroom use and offers an otherwise unavailable introduction to a subject which is of great interest to students and scholars alike.
