About
Elmer Rice was born in New York City, New York, USA. He was an American playwright. He is best known for his plays The Adding Machine and his Pulitzer Prize-winning drama of New York tenement life, Street Scene. His first work, the melodramatic On Trial, was the first play to employ on stage the motion-picture technique of flashbacks, in this case to present the recollections of witnesses at a trial. He also wrote several novels and an autobiography, Minority Report.
