Popular Culture
Strasberg, his wife Paula, his daughter Susan and his son John, all appear as characters in Robert Brustein's 1998 play Nobody Dies on Friday, which one critic called a "scathing portrait of Strasberg" but one which "can by no means be dismissed as a simple act of character assassination." Brustein, a critic, director and producer, had previously made public his dislike of The Method as a philosophy of acting. The play was produced by Brustein's American Repertory Theatre in Cambridge, Massachusetts and was later presented in Singapore.

“The lowest form of popular culture—lack of information, misinformation, disinformation, and a contempt for the truth or the reality of most people’s lives—has overrun real journalism. Today, ordinary Americans are being stuffed with garbage.”
—Carl Bernstein (b. 1944)
“Party action should follow, not precede the creation of a dominant popular sentiment.”
—J. Ellen Foster (1840–1910)
“The hard truth is that what may be acceptable in elite culture may not be acceptable in mass culture, that tastes which pose only innocent ethical issues as the property of a minority become corrupting when they become more established. Taste is context, and the context has changed.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
