DJ blurb on Six American Plays For Today:

Toys in the Attic Lillian Hellman
"Lillian Hellman has jolted the theatre out of its childishness with a smackingly vigorous drama. . . . Miss Hellman uses the stage as it should be used-as a place where events can happen, things can be clearly said and characters can become real. . . . Toys in the Attic offers much to remember."

John Chapman, New York News

The Tenth Man Paddy Chayefsky
"A work of creative imagination. . . . Freshness, literary adventurousness, independence of vision.... An uncompromising haymaker."

Walter Kerr, New York Herald Tribune

Sunrise at Campobello Dore Schary
"Deeply moving chronicle ... a fine theatrical and cultural enterprise."

Brooks Atkinson, New York Times

A Raisin in the Sun Lorraine Hansberry
"A beautiful, lovable play. It is affectionately human, funny and touching. ... A work of theatrical magic in which the usual barrier between audience and stage disappears."

John Chapman, New York News

The Dark at the Top of the Stairs William Inge
"The Dark at the Top of the Stairs is the best play that William Inge has written. . . . The characters are etched with such insight and compassion as to overwhelm you."

Robert Coleman, New York Mirror

Camino Real Tennessee Williams
"A strange and disturbing drama ... as eloquent and rhythmic as a piece of music."

Brooks Atkinson, New York Times
