Hmmm. I remember enjoying this more than I thought I would but it sometimes got VERY repetitive. I did like learning about drama across countries and cultures though.

I read the 13th edition for class. Definitely got repetitive, but the parts about diversity in the theatre were easily the best.

Of all the textbooks I've had to read so far...this was probably the most enjoyable... sure it had it's boring moments and it repeated a lot of things form chapter to chapter, but it wasn't horrible to read.
