  Of The Social Contract -...

  "Man was born free, and he is everywhere in chains" 
  These are the famous opening words of a treatise that has not ceased to stir vigorous debate since its first publication in 1762. Rejecting the view that anyone has a natural right to wield authority over others, Rousseau argues instead for a pact, or 'social contract', that should exist between all the citizens of a state and that should be the source of sovereign power. From this fundamental premise, he goes on to consider issues of liberty and law, freedom and justice, arriving at a view of society that has seemed to some a blueprint for totalitarianism, to others a declaration of democratic principles.It's publication in 1762 lead to great discussion about 'what is government' on both sides of the Atlantic, and is still essential reading today. 
  How much government is too much? What rights should be given up for government? It is the Social Contract which is the foundational discussion on these topics.

  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
