I've been a big fan of Moisés Kaufman and the Tectonic Theater for a number of years. I first became aware of both Kaufman and the Tectonic Theater because of the Laramie Project. This book is an excellent documentation of the Kaufman's process he uses to create engaging works of theater arts. Admittedly, Kaufman's approach to creating new theatrical works is different than most, but the excellence of his productions clearly shows that the in-depth analysis of either texts (like he did in Gross Indecency) or in-depth interviewing (like the Tectonic Theater did in the creation of the Laramie Project and the follow-up Ten Years Later) works.
Anyone interested in either creating art or theater history will benefit from reading this book.
