GfIis stage: theworld.
Opium addict and madman, poet, playwright, and architect of the
"theater of cruelty;' Antonin Artaud has exercised perhaps the
greatest single influence on the contemporary theater.. In this long–
awaited critical biography, Ronald Hayman examines the whole
of Artaud's work against the tragedies of his life, probing the
profound impact of Artaud's work upon such men as Barrault,
Genet, Peter Weiss, Peter Brook, and Growtowski, while assessing
Artaud's ever increasing importance on the theater today. With
photographs and Artaud's own drawings and paintings. $10.95
