Setting theory beside practice; these writings bring alive a number of vital and continuing concerns; each of which is given full scope in five sections which explore the Modernist; Political; Inner and Global dimensions of twentieth century theatre. Twentieth Century Theatre: A Sourcebook provides illuminationg perspectives on past history; and throws fresh light on the sources and development of theatre today. This sourcebook is not only an essential and versatile collection for students at all levels; but also directed numerous devised shows which have toured to theatres; schools; community centres and prisons.

Review
7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. excellentBy A CustomerAs someone who has built and manage an ALF and plan on expanding; this book is invaluable. It breaks down the art of architecture as it relates to senior housing and makes suggestions for certain elements that a non architect can easily achieve. A great "how to" book for someone who wants to build a facility. Also; after reading; Im sure my knowledge base on the subject is better than the vast majority of architects.
