Caryl Churchill: Routledge Modern and Contemporary Dramatists
ISBN: 9780415345774 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. One of Europe's greatest playwrights, Caryl Churchill has been internationally celebrated for four decades.

This new critical introduction to Churchill examines her political agendas, her collaborations with other practitioners, and looks at specific production histories of her plays. Churchill's work continues to have... One of Europe's greatest playwrights, Caryl Churchill has been internationally celebrated for four decades. She has exploded the narrow definitions... |
