Self-made impresario, controversial producer, contentious champion of human rights and the First Amendment, founder of the New York Shakespeare Festival, and unquestionably the most dynamic force in American theater in the last quarter century, Joseph Papp (1921-1991) forever changed the cultural landscape of the United States. This is the first and only biography of his extraordinary life. The Boston Globe wrote: "The result is splendid, particularly in its utter objectivity. The pain of Papp's ending is so plainly set down that it stings."
