Reviews

"""Theatre and Internationalization prompts readers to reflect across a broad range of topics and presents them with useful tools to carry out further study. The studies found here will be particularly useful towards developing a language to articulate the complex realities of stage practice and performance, drawing from a considerable theoretical apparatus. The case-study approach grounds the contributions and ensures their concreteness, in an area of study that would otherwise risk falling into sterile abstraction."" Serra Porteiro, Scenario, p. 165."
