Reviews

This book is a revelation, enabling the reader to go up-stream and see the sources of shows from the first inklings in the minds of their makers. By mixing trenchant argument and analysis with insightful first-person interviews with key theatre folk, it builds to a compelling case for the need for R&D and a rallying cry for it to be funded. * Steve Waters, Professor of Scriptwriting, University of East Anglia, UK *
