Reviews

20 Ground-Breaking Directors of Eastern Europe ... delivers exactly what it promises in its title ... . the volume is undoubtedly a unique and thorough undertaking, especially when considering the small number of works that attempt to provide an encyclopaedic overview of contemporary world theatre. ... an important and timely volume that helps to identify and recognise the directorial signatures that have shaped and continue to shape the theatre culture of the Eastern European region in recent decades. (Tamas Jaszay, Theatron, Vol. 16 (4), 2022)
