Reviews

Rebellato's most provocative thesis is that the Royal Court's mission was to challenge a theatrical culture unhealthily dominated by gay men. <br>- London Review of Books <br> [A] fascinating volume... Recommended for upper-division undergraduate and graduate collections. <br>- Choice, September 1999 <br>
