Reviews for Theatre Studies
1 rating1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Thorough study of the theatre, written from a British POV. It often alternates surprisingly from the detailed and mundane operations of the theatre process to very theoretical and academic discussions. The British narrator is easy to listen to, and it works well at the 1.2-1.5x speed.
