Editorial Reviews

[T]his is a real achievement: a hugely useful book for any aspiring thespian.

Quill & Quire

This concise introduction is sure to motivate young actors and give them the chance to explore both the performance and design elements of the theater.

This may have been written for children, but adults who work with young people will find the book immensely useful. A worthwhile addition to drama collection in school or public libraries.
