3.0 out of 5 stars Good anthology, September 29, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Theatre Alive!: An Introductory Anthology of World Drama (Paperback)
I am using this book as a textbook for a theatre class. It contains good plays, a clear dissection of theatre periods, and it organized very well.

The version of "A Doll's House" that is in the book is not even close to the original, so if you want to use that, try somewhere else. Other that that, the book is okay, but not the best.
