This text explores: the aims and achievements of major figures such as Tennessee Williams, Eugene O'Neill and David Mamet; the processes a play goes through from preliminary draft to opening night; the careful balancing between aesthetic ideals and commercial considerations; the place of producers, reviewers, agents and managers and their contribution to the process, and the relationship between acting styles and writing styles for Broadway plays.
