ColangeloTwo-thirds of this collection is from the 80s or 90s but the essence of the collection is still great. Essays vary from pseudo-political. social commentary to play analysis. All seem to point to the same wonderful characteristic of theatre: it holds up a mirror to life. A good read. ten pages at a time!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. theater courseBy Elizabeth D.
