The Wooster Group Work Book

"The Wooster Group Work Book accesses, often for the first time, the company's rehearsal methods and source materials, as well as the creative thinking and reflections of director Elizabeth LeCompte and her main artistic collaborators. Focusing on five performance pieces, FRANK DELL'S THE TEMPTATION OF ST. ANTONY (1987), BRACE UP! (1990), FISH STORY (1994), HOUSE/LIGHTS (1999) and TO YOU, THE BIRDIE! (Phèdre) (2002), this new volume gathers together an astonishing range of archival material to produce a vivid and personal account of how the company makes its work."

Combining detailed description, critical commentary, production photographs and extensive interviews with company members Elizabeth LeCompte, Spalding Gray, Ron Vawter, Willem Dafoe, Kate Valk, Peyton Smith, Jim Clayburgh and others, Savran brings into sharp focus these remarkable artists and the astonishing pieces they have made."
