This collection helps us comprehend the role that a creative collective plays in the formation of theatre. We want a work of theatre to be true to the author, and true to the time. Kathryn Syssoyeva and Scott Proudfit's collection proves that a work of theatre can only be authentic when it is true to a collective of individuals participating in its creation. When their collective individuality is expressed, theatre is always timely and true to its source. - Andrei Malaev-Babel, Head of Acting, Asolo Conservatory for Actor Training, Florida State University, USA The essays ... do provide some fascinating discussions of both lesser-known and fairly famous practitioners who have devised their performances collectively, from the early twentieth century to the present. - Theatre
