  Dangerous Theatre records the activities of the various organizations of the Federal Theatre Project involved with fostering the writing and production of new plays during the FTP's existence (1935-39). It presents a comprehensive and thorough picture of how playwrights actually worked and how their work was received by general audiences and critics. A critical perspective is established explaining how, why, and to what extent the aims of the FTP with regard to promoting new plays were, or were not achieved. "The Federal Theatre Project - one of the most ambitious and successful public enterprises in theatre (in America or anywhere) - is too often overlooked. FTP influenced theatre directing and staging, artists' approach to social issues, and playwriting for decades to come. It showed how public support for the performing arts can foster good art and lively debate while maintaining strong links to things that matter to masses of people: jobs, housing, peace, food, family relations. George Kazacoff's study of how the FTP provided places for new plays to be tested is an in1portant contribution not only to theatre scholarship but to An1erican history." -Richard Schechner New York University "Had it not been for the diligent investigations of George Kazacoff, it would still be a mystery. Now, however, it's finally possible to learn what Arthur Miller wrote for the Federal Theater's new plays project. In Dangerous Theatre, Kazacoff reveals who the subsidized playwrights were, what kind of plays they wrote-and how they related to the Depression Era, and, most important, how they were received by Federal Theatre readers and American audiences, when they were perfom1ed. While no great masterpieces emerged, the project was an important experiment in American Theatre. Kazacoff has now provided a missing chapter in our theatre history." - Glenn Loney The Graduate School and University Center of the City University of New York

  Joe Biden has found his way back to Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal. After four decades of diminishing prospects for ordinary people, the public likes what Biden is offering. Yet American democracy is in dire peril as Republicans, increasingly the national minority, try to destroy democracy in order to cling to power. It is the best of times and the worst of times. In Going Big, bestselling author and political journalist Robert Kuttner assesses the promise and peril of this critical juncture. 
   
   
   
  Biden, like FDR in his time, faces multiple challenges. Roosevelt had to make terrible compromises with racist legislators to win enactment of his program. Biden, to achieve the necessary governing coalition, needs to achieve durable multiracial coalitions. Roosevelt had to conquer fascism in Europe; Biden must defeat it at home. And after four decades of neoliberal policy disasters reflecting Wall Street's political influence, Biden needs to go beyond what even FDR achieved, to restore a democratic economy of broad possibility. 
   
   
   
  From a writer with an unparalleled understanding of the history and politics that have made this moment possible, this book is the essential guide to what is at stake for Joe Biden, for America, and for our democracy.
