Founded by Judith Malina and Julian Beck, The Living Theatre revolutionized the field of drama and came to represent a lifestyle of its own. Written by the members of the troupe, The Living Book of The Living Theatre is a distillation of the revolutionary theater group 's thoughts, social philosophy, and their life on and off the stage. Mostly a documentary collection of approximately 280 black and white photographs in production and rehearsals, with an introduction written by Richard Schechner. "If the police could storm into a theater and close it, why couldn't theater people close the police?"
