Book excerpt: Herbert Blau founded, with Jules Irving, the legendary Actor's Workshop of San Francisco, in 1952. Over the course of the next 13 years and its 100 or so productions, it introduced American audiences to plays by Brecht, Beckett, Pinter, and various unknown others. Most of the productions were accompanied by a concise programme note by Blau. These documents now comprise a critique of the modern theatre. This book curates these notes, with a selection of the Workshop's incrementally artful, alluring programme covers.
