Speak Theater and Film!: The Best of Bomb Magazine's Interviews with Actors, Directors and Playwrights

For seventeen years, BOMB magazine has been publishing legendary interviews, iconoclastic, humorous, and often profound conversations between creative peers in the arts. Following the success of Speak Art! and Speak Fiction and Poetry!, Betsy Sussler has compiled the magazine's best interviews with actors, directors, and playwrights from the worlds of theater and film. The subjects of the interviews include, among others: Edward Albee, Arthur Miller, Anna Deavere Smith, Richard Foreman, Laurence Fishburne, Wallace Shawn, and Mike Leigh. And the interviewers themselves are an equally stellar cast, including: Eric Bogosian, Willem Dafoe, bell hooks, Patrick McGrath, and Mary Louise Parker. At once entertaining and thought provoking, Speak Theater and Film! engages readers on both sides of the proscenium in behind-the-scenes dialogues about how and why essential creative decisions are made.
