 William H. Hutt, 1899-1988   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
At the heart of many of the misunderstandings about the market economy, Professor Hutt maintained, was the false belief that a laissez-faire policy was harmful to the individual working man. That belief was challenged and refuted in his books, The Theory of Collective Bargaining (1930; new edition, 1975) and The Strike-Threat System (1973).
Hutt proved that the greatest opportunity for the material improvement of the individual worker was on an unhampered labor market, upon which employers bid against each other to hire his services and where no barriers were placed in his way as he sought to improve his condition by seeking out the most attractive employment options.
But glory is fleeting, and long after the collectivist heralds are forgotten, William Hutt's writings and principled stand will be remembered.

It was the first time I have ever seen William Hutt on stage.
My only qualm about Hutt's performance was that he delivered his final speech -- the "gravedigger puts on the forceps" bit -- as if it was a Shakespearean monologue, as if he was Prospero at the end of The Tempest or something.
It was good at points, but he seemed to be outside of his character, while Hutt was deep inside his.

This book is a tribute to William Hutt: it takes advantage of his seventy-fifth birthday to keep faith with his past, present, and future.
The tributes, which come from other actors and directors, as well as a designer, a stage manager, and a photographer, are organized under three broad headings: the actor, the director, and the man. This structure eliminates the repetition that frequently haunts this kind of collection.
In "Instinctive Responses," Christopher Newton analyzes Hutt's listening "-- the silence that is alive and always curiously dangerous." Mervyn Blake's "Three Lears" and Philip Silver's "William Hutt and The Merry Wives of Windsor" would be especially useful to theatre arts students -- Silver gives a wonderfully clear picture of what a theatre designer actually does.
