Review: Callboard (San Francisco)

Theodore Shank has edited a fine collection of essays designed to fill in theater artists on contemporary British theater. The volume delivers a refreshing breadth of information.

The sweep of coverage in the book makes it constantly engaging. . . . Shank proves an able editor here, clarifying the nature of the work (as an editor should) by leading off with: "It is fortunate for theater as a art that there is a continuous stream of young artists who do not carry the baggage of the past, who can look anew at our world and tell us what we didn't know that we knew."
