Numerous plays have professionals as major characters; but academia has ignored them to a large extent. The Professions in Contemporary British Drama fills this extraordinary gap with a series of nine papers discussing the educational professions (Bennett; Mangan); the medical profession (Shields; Buse; ); priests (Kurdi); archaeologists (Forsyth) and artists (Di Benedetto; Meyer-Dinkgrauml;fe; Edwards). The book is of relevance to theatre academics and students at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. It is based on a conference organised in conjunction with the Centre for English Studies; School of Advanced Studies; University of London; 6 March 1998.

A little disappointed in the bookBy Martoni48A little disappointed in the book. I thought it would be like his last book with more of an explanation on technique but it seems to be more of a philosophical concept on his paintings.
