An unrivalled unofficial history of the rise, and partial fall, of fringe theater, Mike Bradwell's deadpan story is one of the funniest and angriest books to come out of theater today. As he travels through a counterculture peopled by scheming opportunists, dreamers, and prophets, Bradwell makes us marvel at his resilience and creativity.
