Recenzii

A powerful introductory panorama of the first few years of the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, offering a pleasing insight to a general public and a useful point of departure for an academic readership . Tosh has provided a much-needed account of the inner workings of this space from various perspectives.
With academic rigour, with mischievous wit, and with infectious excitement, Will Tosh records the progress of the creation of this jewel of a new theatre. A book of sharp pleasure.
This is a fascinating cultural history of a new theatre and its reception; it offers a perceptive reading of our contemporary relationship with the "Jacobean" and draws upon a wealth of scholarly research, artists' experience and audience responses, to explore how architecture, aesthetics, text and practitioner create theatrical meaning.
Will Tosh's exhilarating exploration makes Theatre History anew as the history of a single theatre. This is a superbly engaging scholarly celebration of a remarkable theatre space.
