Reviews

This new anthology provides a vital call for more research and dialogue in the increasingly important intersections of religion, theatre, and performance. With this collection, Gharavi perceptively argues the essential importance of religious studies to theatre/performance studies, and vice versa. -Bradley Stephensen, University of Missouri Columbia, Ecumenica
