Upcoming Author's Chat

Why are Broadway tickets so expensive? Will the middle class ever be able to afford the theater again? I'll be holding an author chat for Attention Must Be Paid, But for $800?: A Financial Detective Story About Staging "Death of a Salesman" in 1949 and 2012 starting Monday for a week (8/12-16/13). Please join the group now to receive a reminder: http://www.goodreads.com/group/show/1...

We will talk about how the economy has changed, who won and who lost, who is making more than ever and who is being pushed aside, and how it's reflected in the disparity of costs between mounting "Death of a Salesman" in two different eras.

Even if you haven't read the book yet, please join in the conversation as I'd like to hear about your personal experience.

Thanks!

Best regards,

Peter Wayner
