Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

'If a cultural historian of the next century were looking for a sympathetic and engaged description of the British theatre of the last twenty years, they should look no further than Billington... He is practical, passionate, opinionated and moralistic' Richard Eyre; 'Anyone seeking both immediate impressions and a considered overview of British theatre over the past two decades couldn't find a better guide than this book' Times Literary Supplement; 'Besides being unflaggingly entertaining about dreadful evenings out, Billington exudes enthusiasm whenever he finds cause for congratulations' The Times

Reseña del editor:

This classic of theatre criticism is re-issued -with a new Foreword by the author - to mark his thirtieth year as a drama critic; One Night Stands is Michael Billington's own selection from twenty years of reviewing theatre for the Guardian - from 1971-1991. Ten years on, he is still at the Guardian: the longest serving theatre critic still writing - and by far the most respected. Arranged chronologically, with a five-thousand word introduction on the role of the critic, these reviews and occasional 'think pieces' add up to an authoritative yet highly personal history of the British theatre over two vital decades at the end of the twentieth century.
