About This Item
1st Edition . Hardcover. As New/Near Fine. AS NEW, stated 1st American edition, black boards w gilt font on spine, 400 pps, + photos + index + calendar of notable events. Appear unread - or very lightly read, without creases, writing, marks, etc. Dust jacket is near fine, unclipped, showing minimal shelf wear and now under mylar wraps."A highly personal and encapsulated overview of British and world theater (with particular focus on the American scene), this breezy, copiously illustrated book was written as preparation for a BBC-TV series, Changing Stages. Eyre, director of London's Royal National Theatre, and Wright, an actor and playwright (of the hit Mrs. Klein and others), know all the inside poop on English playwrights like Noel Coward and Terrence Rattigan (about whom they are candid to the point of bitchiness) and on most of the major English Shakespeare productions of the last 100 years. A chapter on Bertolt Brecht, entitled "B.B." is a vigorous presentation of that still-controversial writer, and the book is particularly good"
