"I saw this amazing play originally in 2004, and it was like an epiphany... I had no idea that theater could be like that. The only other time when I really realized the full power was during a performance of Death of a Salesman<i>. <i>The Laramie Project ...more

recommended for: Radio Lovers
read in March, 2007
Tony said:
"The title No Static: A Guide to Creative Radio is a mixed bag. It really isn't so much a guide to creative radio programming so much as various anecdotes from the author's life, which was sometimes good, but this is definitely not a reference ...more

my rating:

recommended for: Theater Lovers
read in May, 2007
Tony said:

If that sort of subject matter is something you find palatable, then you might want to give it a try. To me, David Mamet is quite a mixed bag. He's a master of dialog, but I often find his subject matter off-putting. So for me, it's an interesting read from an academic perspective.
