[Matt · Rating 3 out of 5]

The collective knowledge on the subject of writing for the theater in these pages is a gold mine. That being said the book oddly enough was a tough read. It had to do with the constant repetitive and seemingly obsessive nature of Savran trying to connect every playwright to Bertolt Brecht.
