Description
The purpose of this set is to bring together in a convenient format information about the world's more significant theater companies. Articles are grouped by continent or region and are arranged alphabetically by country within these area groups. The People's Republic of China is not covered. Area editors and contributors (identified in volume 2) were selected for their specialized knowledge of theater in the area about which they write. Articles include information concerning a company's history, philosophy, performing style, location, facilities, and future plans. For some areas, e.g., India and Japan, rather extensive background on theatrical traditions is also provided. For information in English about outstanding theater companies in most countries, this is likely to be a standard. Theodore O. Wohlsen, Jr., Connecticut State Lib., Hartford - Library Journal.
