Recenzii
'Enjoyable...
there
is
a
lack
of
snobbishness
in
the
columns
collected
here;
Bainbridge
is
as
happy
to
sit
through
Shakespeare
as
she
is
through
a
farce
or
a
muscial.
She
still
marvels
at
the
magic
of
theatre
and
her
reviews
lack
the
dour
quality
of
so
many
braodsheet
hacks...
Front
Row
is
an
ideal
book
to
gorge
all
at
once
or
dip
into
every
now
and
then...
an
idiosyncratic
record
of
the
last
decade
of
the
theatre,
but
also
an
intimate
portrayal
of
one
of
our
greatest
writers
and
is
perhaps
as
close
as
we
will
ever
get
to
a
full
autobiography.'

Magazine
'Contains fascinating insights... as well as delightful sketches of actors.' Good Book Guide
'The refreshing aspect of this collection of reviews is that you feel they have been written by someone who is open to the experience of what she is about to see without prejudging it... her real strength is her outline of the story, which, as one of our foremost novelists, is hardly surprising. The emphasis in all of these reviews is on a succinct appraisal of the narrative and an appreciation of the writer... will appeal to anyone wanting a browse through that decade, not only of the plays, but also some of the sociological phonomena of that decade, in the always entertaining company of the author.' Camden New Journal
'Your professional critic is inclined to go to see a play with their knives sharpened and ready to use if it doesn't meet their preconceived expectations, whereas Dame Beryl goes more as a punter.' Islington Tribune
'This volume has a wonderful and insightful introductory essay , whilst also containing comment on the work of those such as Alan Bennett and Alan Rickman, and some delightful anecdotes fromBainbridge's early days in the theatre.' Good Book Guide, 01/09/2006
'... I was not a stranger to the world of the stage. At the age of five I became a member of the Thelma Bickerstaff tap-dancing troupe appearing at the Garrick Theatre, Southport. Four years later I went solo and sang Kiss Me Goodnight Sergeant Major to an audience of wounded soldiers transported from the local hospital.'
Interview with Beryl Bainbridge, mentions the book.
'...highly entertaining and informed view of the London theatre.'
'Bainbridge the novelist can't resist the essential absurdity of people pretending not to be themselves eight times a week... the sending-up, however, is done with great affection. Bainbridge can never be a great critic of the theatre because she loves it too deeply and still identifies with people on the other side of the proscenium arch.'
'...Her introductory essay is beguilling - when, please, will Dame Beryl write her autobiography.'
'...The reviews in this book are mainly of a random selection of plays in the 1990s and will appeal to anyone wanting a browse through that decade, not only of the plays, but also some of the sociological phenomena of that decade, in the always entertaining company of the author.'
