Description de l'ouvrage:
A generation began in his backyard. . . . Taking Woodstock is a new comedy inspired by the true story of Elliot Tiber and his family, who inadvertently played a pivotal role in making the famed Woodstock Music and Arts Festival into the happening that it was.

It's 1969, and Elliot Tiber, a down-on-his-luck interior designer in Greenwich Village, New York, has to move back upstate to help his parents run their dilapidated Catskills motel, the El Monaco. When Elliot hears that a neighboring town has pulled the permit on a hippie music festival, he calls the producers, thinking he could drum up some much-needed business for the motel. Three weeks later, half a million people are on their way to his neighbor's farm in Bethel, New York, and Elliot finds himself swept up in a generation-defining experience that would change his life—and American culture—forever.

Taking Woodstock is directed by Ang Lee with ascreenplay by James Schamus, based on the book byElliot Tiber with Tom Monte, and stars DemetriMartin, Dan Fogler, Henry Goodman, Jonathan Groff,Eugene Levy, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and ImeldaStaunton, with Emile Hirsch and Liev Schreiber.
