Best Edition Act One: An Autobiography with FREE MOBI EDITION!

When we talk about theater books, there is Moss Hart's Act One and then there are all the other books. Hart's memoirs about his early days as a struggling playwright absolutely bursts with humor, energy, sharply drawn anecdotes and human portraits. Hart was a talented writer and can make chapters about being the social director of summer camps at the Catskills sound way more interesting than it probably was. This is a wonderful memoir.Moss Hart was the son of a rather impoverished cigar-maker and lived in a poor neighborhood in the Bronx. As a child he had an eccentric Aunt Kate who instilled in the boy a love of theater. But Hart sounds like he was meant for theater anyway, for as he observes, "Theater is the inevitable refuge of the unhappy child." He describes his journey from a joyless childhood to a shiftless adulthood as a social director of summer camps until he meets playwright and director George Kaufman. Hart describes their difficult first collaboration together (a satire of Hollywood called "Once in a Lifetime"), and the book ends with Hart and Kaufman's play's triumphant opening night on Broadway. Afterwards Hart goes home to his family, tells them to gather their few possessions and leave their old apartment forever. They are no longer in poverty anymore.When George Kaufman first read Act One he said wryly, "Act One is fiction." And indeed one does suspect that quite a few facts go by the wayside and that Hart takes some creative license in telling his own story. But the core of Act One has a deep emotional truth. I don't know of another playwright who wrote with such honesty about his own insecurities and failings and describes the often excruciating "creative process" with such detail. This humility and genuine love for the the theater is what makes Act One such a page-turner so many years later.One huge moment in Act One is after the premiere of "Once in a Lifetime" George Kaufman goes before the audience and says "80% of this play is Moss Hart." In Act One I think 80% of the book might be fact, the other 20% fiction, but it's still a damned great book. If you love theater this book is the place to start.
