Book Reviews of In Contact With the Gods?: Directors Talk Theatre
Book Review: Heritage and Delgado - one amazing team.
Summary: 5 Stars
Paul Heritage and Maria Delgado offer the theatre student and novice a different approach to studying the work of the "gods". Through careful consideration, the editors have sifted out the ordinary and included the unique. All of the interviews gleam with surprises and useful information. However, the interviews withYukio Ninagawa, Robert Lepage and Peter Sellars give a rare insight into the works of these theatrical masters.All of the sections are informative, educational and enjoyable.
Even though the editors didn't personally interview the directors, the sheer originality in combining such diverse directors togethor in one book is breathtaking.
The five stars awarded are for scope shown in their selection, the editing style and presentation.
The theatre world will be forever indebted to them.
