Reseña del libro "The Cradle Will Rock: A Play In Music (en Inglés)"
The Cradle Will Rock is a play in music written by Marc Blitzstein. Set in a fictional town called Steeltown, the play explores the themes of corruption, power, and greed. It tells the story of Larry Foreman, a union organizer who fights against the corrupt businessman Mr. Mister and his cronies. The play features a cast of characters that includes a prostitute, a doctor, a newspaper editor, and a composer, among others. The music is a mix of jazz, opera, and musical theater, and the lyrics are politically charged and satirical. The play was originally produced in 1937 by the Federal Theatre Project, but was shut down by the government due to its controversial content. It has since been revived numerous times and is considered a classic of American theater. The Cradle Will Rock is a powerful and thought-provoking work that continues to resonate with audiences today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
