Recenzii
"Topics are covered here that might otherwise prove elusive....A particular highlight is the collection of articles throughout written by practicing theater professionals....Valuable." - Library Journal
"This work differs from other single-volume theater reference works because of the diversity of its contributors....not only entries by scholars but additional boxed entries written by active professional theater insiders....The result is a less academic, more interesting style than the typical reference work....covers a wider geographic terrain than the Concise Oxford Companion to the Theatre and is more contemporary. Only in the Continuum volume, for example, are there entries on digital performance and the Internet....Recommended."--Booklist
"Many contributors are established experts...but there are some superficial treatments as well, particularly by British writers assigned to American topics...The entry on Tony Kushner gets the title of the first part of Angels in America wrong; that on Terrence McNally omits mention of several of his major works; and the survey of lesbian theatre in the U.S. states that the Lesbian-Feminist Theater Collective of Pittsburgh was formed in 1937...Regrettably, there is no survey article on theater libraries or museums...At $195, the hardback edition of this resource, like many of its publisher's products, is considerably overpriced. The paperback, however, offers all types of libraries a generally reliable entry point into the diverse world of twentieth century dramatic and theatrical activity." - Rob Melton, Broadside, Winter 2007
'...the work's international coverage is broad, it uses contemporary terminology, and it features highlights from performers' perspective (e.g. Performing Shaw by Daniel Massey). Recommended for general readers through professionals'. CHOICE
'The book succeeds in making us aware of the multifarious aspects of modern theatre, political and sexual, as well as artistic'. THE STAGE
'The text serves as a jumping off point, giving satisfactory information to readers seeking short answers...Topics are covered here that might otherwise prove elusive...A particular highlight is the collection of articles throughout written by practising theatre professionals...Valuable'. LIBRARY JOURNAL
"...work of astonishing scholarship and research...no reference library or centre of theatre research dare be without it... a cornucopia of reference into every aspect of theatre from performance to academia...many entries are devoted to important work in amateur theatre." - Amateur Theatre
'a less academic, more interesting style than the typical reference work...covers a wider geographic terrain than the 'Concise Oxford Companion to the Theatre' and is more comtemporary...only here, for example, are there entries on digital performance and the Internet...Recommended'.
