Adrian Curtin has deftly woven together interviews with key players, audience reactions, background research and his own critical responses to numerous performances by a variety of mostly British ensembles to craft a highly informed, profoundly perceptive and personal book. His clear and accessible writing style and his illuminating insights make this book a must-read for lovers and students of theatre, music and performance alike.' Björn Heile, Professor of Music (post-1900), University of Glasgow -- . Author InformationAdrian Curtin is Associate Professor in Drama at the University of Exeter.
