LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD TO MARGARET CROYDEN
FROM NY LEAGUE OF PROFESSIONAL THEATRE WOMEN
Margaret Croyden, the well known theater critic, author of "Conversations with Peter Brook, 1970-2000" and commentator on The New York Theatre Wire, received the Lifetime Achievement Award from The New York League of Professional Theatre Women on December 8, 2003 in a private reception at the home of Isabelle Robbins, co-chairperson of the League.
Ms. Croyden's articles on theater and the arts have been published by The New York Times, Village Voice, The Nation, American Theater Magazine, Antioch Review, Texas Quarterly, Transatlantic Review, and other publications. She is author of "Lunatics, Lovers and Poets: The Contemporary Experimental Theater," a seminal book tracing the development of the non-literary theater, and a host for more than a decade on CBS-TV's "Camera Three," an arts program where she interviewed and discussed the work of leading people in the theater.
Ms. Croyden, formerly a Professor of English Literature at New Jersey City University, was educated at Hunter College and New York University and studied also at Oxford University and The Shakespeare Institute in Stratford-upon-Avon, England. She has lectured widely on American and European theater and has been a featured speaker at international gatherings in the United States, Europe, the Middle East, and Japan. Her books also include "In the Shadow of the Flame: Three Journeys" and "Lunatics, Lovers and Poets: The Contemporary Experimental Theater."
Since 1996, she has contributed an ongoing series of commentaries and reviews to The New York Theatre Wire as a regular feature entitled "Croyden's Corner."
Clive Barnes called "Conversations with Peter Brook,"
published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux in 2003, "A fascinating and
provocatively stimulating distillation of three decades of intense conversations
between one of the twentieth century's few true theater innovators and America's
leading writer on the theatrical avant-garde. A splendid book. A great read.
I loved it."
