An introduction to the mysterious theater role of a dramaturg by a legend in the field Anne Cattaneo was among the first Americans to fill the role of dramaturg, one of theater' s best kept secrets. Using detailed stories from her lifetime of work with theater artists such as Tom Stoppard, Wendy Wasserstein, Robert Wilson, Shi-Zheng Chen, and Sarah Ruhl, as well as the discovery of a "lost" play by Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston, Cattaneo provides an invaluable manual to those studying, working in, and interested in this most fascinating profession.
"Anne Cattaneo creates a toolbox for dramaturgs, producers, and emerging arts leaders on how to be an exemplar in dramaturgy. This incredible work will be a fixture for this generation and future ones. "-Kristin Leahey, Boston University "Anne Cattaneo has had a very distinguished career, and this wise book will be in print for years and years. "-Adrienne Kennedy "Anne Cattaneo has written a fascinating and invaluable book on the theater from the dramaturg' s perspective. Whether you are a would-be dramaturg, a theater professional, or just a theater aficionado you will learn first-hand how productions come together from the page to the stage. "- James Lapine, Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize winner "Cattaneo demystifies dramaturgy with the mastery of a great storyteller. This inspiring work reminds us why we need theater now more than ever. A must read for all thinkers, makers, and lovers of art. "-Ruben Polendo, New York University Tisch School of the Arts/ Theater Mitu "Cattaneo' s love - and wide-ranging knowledge - of her subject shines through on every page. This is a book not just for dramaturgs, but for all makers and lovers of theater. "- Evan Yionoulis, The Juilliard School
