Book Reviews of The Theater and Its Double
Book Review: Good if you are interested in Artaud
Summary: 4 Stars
As when I bought this book I was studying Artaud, I found it incredibly useful. It is an insight into Artaud's mind as he tends to write down exactly what he is thinking, although he often contradicts himself. It is also often amusing. I feel if you are studying Artaud, or putting on a production in Artaudian style this book is incredibly useful.
However I do not believe it would be as helpful if you are searching for tips about theatre in general as Artaud has a very unique style.
It is fascinating to see Artaud come up with ideas like street theatre without giving it a name that we now see as commonplace in main cities.
