​As Barranger traces Crawford's career as an independent producer, she tells the parallel story of American theater in the mid-twentieth century, making A Gambler's Instinct both an enjoyable and informative biography of a remarkable woman and an important addition to the literature of the modern theater.


Milly S. Barranger is a distinguished professor emerita of dramatic art at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, former producing director of the PlayMakers Repertory Company, and author of Unfriendly Witnesses: Gender, Theater, and Film in the McCarthy Era and Margaret Webster: A Life in the Theater.
