5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant! Elegant, concise, astute, and provocative., January 19, 1999
By A Customer
This book was assigned in my "Introduction to Theater" class, and I found myself highlighting sentence after sentence. This book offers a very unique appreciation of theater, dwelling on theater's combination of fantasy and reality. You can read through this book in an afternoon, but you will want to return to it again and again.
