  • "Videocassette one (67 min.): [Relevant content begins at 34 min. and ends at 101 min.] Brief discussion of National Press Club programs, introduction of notable guests and overview of the career and achievements of producer/director Joseph Papp by host Drew von Bergen. Papp speaks to the National Press Club. In his talk, entitled Hamlet and show business, Papp discusses his interest in Shakespeare's Hamlet and its meaning for the theater; what interests him about a play; the state of commercial theater; musical revivals on Broadway; the relationship between theater and life and its expression in the works he chooses to produce; classic plays and their place in the theater; his decision to produce Pirates of Penzance starring Linda Ronstadt; the quality of a play as being "alive"; the absence of good actors on the stage; stage actors he admires; the role of skilled stage actors in keeping the theater alive. During the question and answers session, Papp discusses the possibility of bringing his production of Pirates of Penzance to Washington; his refusal of $223,000 in private support for the New York Shakespeare Festival's summer program at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park following New York mayor Ed Koch's withdrawal of funding. [Talk is continued on videocassette two.]"
