Summary:

"Playwright and screenwriter Martin Sherman dramatizes outsiders skipping over quicksand as they strive to survive. This book analyzes and evaluates Sherman's work. Devoting more attention to internationally acclaimed works, it also considers less well known scripts and his working relationships with the luminaries of stage and screen who have appeared in, directed, and produced his plays and screenplays."--Provided by publisher.
