Producing plays that reflected topical issues of the decade and giving a creative chance to actors, directors, and playwrights who were either fed up with or shut out of commercial theater, the \"Group\" remains a permanent influence on American drama despite its brief ten-year life.\u003cbr\u003eIt was here that method acting, native realism, and political language had their tryouts in front of audiences who anticipated--indeed demanded--a departure from the Broadway \"show-biz\" tradition. In this now classic account, Harold Clurman, founder of the Group Theatre and a dynamic force as producer-director-critic for fifty years, here re-creates history he helped make with Lee Strasberg, Elia Kazan, Irwin Shaw, Clifford Odets, Cheryl Crawford, Morris Carnovsky, and William Saroyan. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eStella Adler contributed a new introduction to this edition which remembers Clurman, the thirties, and the heady atmosphere of a tumultuous decade.\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Group Theatre was perhaps the most significant experiment in the history of American theatre.
