Review
"This collaboratively written work will be valued for its broadly based approach and its encyclopedic information...It has no competitor." Slavic and East European Journal
"A gift to be embraced by English-speaking historians. If this material is not already part of our general theatre history courses, it needs to be incorporated; and if we already give Russian/Soviet theatre the attention it desrves, then these books will revitalize and enhance our understanding." Theatre Survey
"The book offers the general reader an intelligent survey of the subject...useful introduction." Slavic Review Winter 2001
