ISBN: 9780271027371 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A major reinterpretation, T. S.

Olivier Py: Four Plays: Theatres, Epistle to Young Actors, The Exaltation of the Labyrinth, Youth

Presenting himself as a Catholic and a homosexual, Py flouts convention and challenges audiences, yet rewards...
