Recenzii

This book offers a rigorous, but accessible way of rectifying that lack [of young people's knowledge of the oeuvre and philosophy of British playwrights]. The introduction offers as good a succint overview of theatrical developments and new writing in the 1980s, 90s and 2000s as I've read anywhere...And any book which includes language such as "revelling in staccato Mametian rhythms and Pinteresque menace" gets my vote for verbal imaginativeness and refusal to dumb down.
This substantial volume really lives up to the promise of its title - it is indeed an extremely helpful 'guide' in the best sense of the word, offering both an overview of its subject and very specific information on individual playwrights and playtexts and proving useful to newcomers to the field and specialists alike.
This makes for a highly informative compendium of biographies and critiques, and a coherent and timely statement on the formidable and continuing strength of British playwriting.

Descriere
