Recenzje

"Libraries and faculty bookshelves are a good place to keep books such as the two under review (companion volume Contemporary Scenes for Actors: Men). They both include unknown material, along with noted plays and playwrights. The cuttings are well chosen and balanced. The comments by the editors are well thought out and informative." -- Choice
