Have no shame in being kindly and gentle but if the time comes in the time of your life to kill, kill and have no regret.

In the time of your life, live-so that in that good time there shall be no ugliness or death for yourself or for any life your life touches. Seek goodness everywhere, and when it is found, bring it out of its hiding place and let it be free and unashamed. Place in matter and in flesh the least of the values, for these are the things that hold death and must pass away. Have no shame in being kindly and gentle but if the time comes in the time of your life to kill, kill and have no regret.

William Saroyan might have been a wonderful person. How he comes across in the introduction of The Time of Your Life, however, is how I describe him above. I’m not actually sure I’ve ever before felt like I got someone’s personality from just a few pages. Despite having such a high opinion of himself, he identifies as an underdog and his advice comes from the heart.

I love Willliam Saroyan, love the play, HATE this printing. I thought I was buying a used book. This looks like it was printed on somebody's "home publishing machine" after I ordered it. I, like William Saroyan am a Fresno Armenian (he and my dad were contemporaries) and have been reading him since about 7th grade. Even though it was a cheap price, I still feel cheated because I wanted something authentic. SELLER NEEDS TO STATE THAT THESE ARE REPRODUCTIONS and all will be good.

This is a great play. Very sharp. Witty. I see why James Cagney wanted to make a movie out of it. The book/play is easy to follow, includes stage direction, and arrived to me very promptly and in great shape.

I first became involved with this Pulitzer Prize play in college. I was a bright-eyed theatre major in deep East Texas. We were blessed with a throw-back of a man that lived his directorial adventures. Our season consisted of the classics......Glass Menajerie, Our Town, Dark of the Moon, and a great play by Truman Capote, The Grass Harp.(his only play)
In the late sixties we were taken on a trip with The Time of our Life that rivaled the Timothy Leary escapades that filled the air with this soulfull story of lives crossing paths with each other. The author's preface to the play tells of the destiny we carry as we impact the people we meet and see throughout the time of our life. You create the plot from vinnettes that pass before your eyes like the music videos and sound bites we have come to expect in this decade of speed.
Slow down, take your time, and escape to a world long gone by. You are the voyuer and casual observer at Nick's, on the Embarcadero, in the sepiatone fog of San Francisco at the turn of the century. You relate to these characters as they 'strut and fret' their common lives in three acts. It is a play you will place on your bookshelf and cherish as a family album.
By the way, our production of the show was selected one of ten in the nation to be honored in Washington, DC at Ford's Theatre, and be recognized by the American College Theatre Festival/Kennedy Center. We were living large with an old story in a very 'new' time.
