Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Future of the Theatre "My Dear Granville Barker, - I will publish only one reason, among many, why I have asked you to accept this dedication. In the pages that follow I sometimes rather ostentatiously disagree with you. Might it not therefore be concluded that I do not love your work? This would not do at all. "I wish you could have been induced to write this book yourself. It is no use putting us off with excuses as to a busy life. You, who have everything to do, can find time for everything. That you could easily find time for as good a book as has yet been written about the modern English theatre is shown by the present condition of my proof-sheets. My sensations on receiving them could only be comparable with what poor Diabelli must have felt when Beethoven returned him his funny little waltz in C major with thirty-three gigantic variations, including a double fugue. "You cannot see my theatre of the future with rents at £8000 or £10,000 a year, plus £5000 a year for advertisements.
