Just what the professor ordered! My son is quite pleased with this purchase. He needed the text for his theatre class in college. Thanks for the speedy delivery.

This is a [must have] for anyone who desires to study theater outside of high school and into college. Throughout my studies in college, I constantly referred back to this piece for references. It is an expensive book, but trust me. You will get your money’s worth out of this one.

True, this book is full of great information. If that’s your only basis for analysis, then fine, it’s good.
But it tries to be so politically correct that at some points it can’t speak at all. Many of the paragraphs are phrased quite redundantly, + there are entire sections of expository text that are a waste of time.
I’m just glad I had a good professor to teach me this, or I would have absolutely hated this book.
