Act One Moss Hart

This was a very hard book to read. The book was not a page turner. I read it over a long period 3-4 months with lots of books in between. It is the story of Moss Hart’s love of the theater from a very early age and his long, long, long journey through the actual presentation of his first hit on Broadway – Once in a Lifetime. The play took him initially a few days to write and a year or so to get accepted for production and a year or nine months to rewrite, rewrite, rewrite to get into actual production and finally on to a Broadway hit. The book goes into great detail about lines and acts in the play but does not tell about what the play itself is about.
