Review
The editors and publishers of this invaluable
book have placed us all in their debt….I have no doubt that it will
prove to be a benchmark publication for scholars and commentators in
the future. It is just as valuable – perhaps more so even – for
young people interested in theatre, as a pastime or as a profession,
and it should be available in libraries and bookstalls in every
centre of learning and training where drama is a subject, be it as
literature, or in performance, or dramaturgy.
