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.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“All official institutions of language are repeating machines: school, sports, advertising, popular songs, news, all continually repeat the same structure, the same meaning, often the same words: the stereotype is a political fact, the major figure of ideology.”
—Roland Barthes (1915–1980)
“The future is built on brains, not prom court, as most people can tell you after attending their high school reunion. But you’d never know it by talking to kids or listening to the messages they get from the culture and even from their schools.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1953)
