Recenzje

"It tells a common story of the battle against the new poverty, of once lavishly funded theaters reduced to penury, or artists surviving against the odds, and fighting back. As a historical account, it is invaluable for all students of the theater. As a record of human determination, it will inspire everyone." - John Elsom, International Association of Theater Critics
