These essays provide a humorous and insightful exploration of the theatrical world, covering various aspects of play production, from writing to performance and the personalities within the industry. Pollock draws on his extensive experience as a critic, dramatist, and press agent, offering a blend of anecdotes and practical advice that will appeal to both theater enthusiasts and aspiring playwrights. At the start of this work, Pollock introduces himself and outlines the book's purpose, noting that it differs from typical theatrical literature by not delving deeply into critical analysis or historical perspectives. Instead, he presents essays filled with wit and personal anecdotes, such as the amusing misconceptions about how plays are created and the behind-the-scenes realities of theater management. He emphasizes the importance of understanding both the artistic and business sides of theater, setting the tone for a lighthearted yet informative read about the complexities and quirks of theatrical life.
