Covering the five centuries from Shakespeares Bankside playhouses to todays West End; Paul Ibells Theatreland explores the history and current state of the London stage; taking the reader through the streets and alleyways of the theatre capital of the world. Londons theatre district is quite literally built on the past. Although the book celebrates this; and the artistic achievements that still resonate today; it also emphasises that theatre is an art form that can only survive and flourish through fresh talent; new work and constant reinterpretation of old classics. Through a series of entertaining and engaging chapters on themes; personalities and trends; Theatreland reflects the effortless co-existence between past and present that is such a feature of Londons theatre world; and shows how actors and producers; playwrights and publicists; theatre historians and modern architects; choreographers; critics and customers all play their part in ensuring that London remains the theatre capital of the world. Theatreland brings back to life the generations of actors; impresarios; princes and playwrights who created and shaped this cityscape; and describes how the 21st century theatre industry continues to develop and change.

I thought that since it was a music book; it would be big enough for him to put on a stand to see it and play it. Even the Band Director told me that it was too small. When I went back to the site; there was nothing that said the book would be not a standard instrument playing book. I had to order one from a Music Store to make sure I got the correct product.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Too small to seeBy biggun0The size of the music is not big enough to read; but the quality is so poor that trying to expand; e.g. on a printer; doesnt help.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Great book gone badBy Samuel BallardThis version of the great book; Universal Saxophone Method; is a reduction in size of the standard book. The scanner use is of poor quality and so is the finished product. They reduced the size of the printed page so much that it is hard to read even by young eyes. My 60+ year old eyes mean that the print is DNI to read. I teach middle school music and I teach flute and saxophone privately in my area. The full size printed book is still available and that is the book that I recommend you get; the one in the blue cover. The link to the good book is below.Universal Method for Saxophone
