Recenzii

"Steve Waters’ book is like his plays: clear, elegant and stimulating throughout"— David Edgar

"Essential for aspiring playwrights"—Whatsonstage.com

"Thrilling... crammed with good, old-fashioned close reading of a diverse range of plays, which means that although Waters does primarily address those who write for the theatre, he does not forget those who like watching and reading it"—TLS

"Waters analyses what makes plays work on stage, discussing - brilliantly - Hamlet and Woyzeck as examples of structure and characterisation, thereby opening new understandings of drama for everyone"—
Christopher Innes, THES
