This is an elegantly written and philosophically rich study of American theater artists, and one that productively uncovers an avant-garde attentiveness to the everyday concealed by the overly broad mantle of realism. --Laura Levin, author of Performing Ground: Space, Camouflage, and the Art of Blending In Gallagher-Ross's writing is lucid, supple, and precise, and his prose gives pleasure in itself. He does an excellent job of placing each of his subjects in its literary/theatrical context, and it is impressive that he is able to pursue his themes across such a diverse group of performance practitioners. A marvelous book. --Philip Auslander, author of Liveness: Performance in a Mediatized Culture
