Reviews

"''The book is an impressive undertaking, building cultural and creative bridges at a time when Europe needs these urgently. The book pursues dialogues across practices, institutions, stakeholders and individuals in a methodical and illuminating way, providing a framework that will be tremendously relevant to scholars, students and practitioners alike, well beyond national border lines. Such inspiring, applied internationalism is essential to contemporary theatre scholarship.'' Vicky Angelaki, Professor in English Literature, Mid Sweden University. ""The quantity of information orchestrated by Margherita Laera in this brief book is quite remarkable. Inspired by best practice from the furthest reaches of Europe – Iceland to Turkey – it provides extensive information on playwriting, theatre commissioning, funding, producing and reviewing practices, constituting an essential toolkit for keeping any theatre industry in excellent working order."" Clare Finburgh Delijani, Goldsmiths, University of London."
