"In this elegant and long-overdue book, drama and film emerge not as competitors per se but as collaborators who variously borrow and profit from their intertwined histories. At the same time, Zander Brietzke delivers a passionate defense of the theater, a reminder that even and especially in an age of media, theater remains the most live and lively art." - Martin Puchner, author of Stage Fright: Modernism. Anti-Theatricality, and Drama"
