Methuen Drama (Verlag)
978-1-350-28346-6 (ISBN)
One Public: New York’s Public Theater in the Era of Oskar Eustis presents the broader organization, its creative methodology, and its enormous growth over the past 20 years. Framed by the tenure and leadership of its current artistic director, the book tells the contemporary story, recorded over many interviews with iconic practitioners and performers ranging from Diane Paulus, Tony Kushner and Lynn Nottage to Kevin Kline, Chelsea Clinton and Lin-Manuel Miranda.
Case-study driven, One Public uses oral history accounts and authorial experience to illuminate The Public Theater, Eustis and their cultural influence on the city of New York and the greater United States. The story highlights the successes and challenges of an institution at once espousing a mission of inclusivity and community-based arts creation, while also developing Broadway hits and international fame.
Kevin Landis, PhD, MFA is Professor and Director of the Theatre and Dance Program at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs. His numerous published works range from culinary/theatrical intersections, to mobile Shakespeare, to American drag, to a book on performance anthropology.
