Small wonder, then, that The Bright Lights has no real bitterness, only an occasionally wistful--but unswerving--dedication to a capricious craft. In the chapter describing her role in Equus, she comments, "Chekhow has Nina say 'It seems to me a play must have some love in it.' So should a book that deals with the life of a play." And so does this book that deals with the life of many plays--and that of this actress as well...
