Act One
by Moss Hart (also rec’d by Dick Cavett )
Buy on AmazonMoss Hart’s memoir of his early years (he died too young to produce Act Two) remains the gold standard among books about the American theater. Fully half of it is about his collaboration with George S. Kaufman on ‘Once in a Lifetime,’ Hart’s breakthrough success. It is the best description of the creative process of theater that I’ve ever read.
