Written from various perspectivesmdash;international actors; directors; playwrights; academics; dancers; and artistsmdash;this book examines and celebrates 14 theater events from a dozen countries. As it makes a case for what makes certain theater productions great; this record also offers examples of writing about theater that imbues the analysis with emotion and documentation. From Peter Brookrsquo;s King Lear of 1962 through 2010rsquo;s Oberammergau Passionsspiele; the performances described are seminal works indeed.
