The Time Traveller's Guide to British Theatre by Aleks Sierz
A lively guided tour through British theatre from Elizabeth I to Elizabeth II
I am bowled over by The Time Traveller's Guide to British Theatre.. I've read many histories of theatre in my time, some very dry and academic and others rather more basic and banal for young readers or people still in the foothills of the Everest of theatre history. But never before have I chortled and marvelled my way through anything quite so informative and entertaining - and for the authors to have done both with such aplomb is quite an achievement... -- Susan Elkin * The Stage *
It combines the latest insights of today with the story of yesterday. It reads like a fast-moving ride on a theatre-go-round — only much more informative. The gossip is fun, too. -- Christopher Frayling
From Elizabethan penny stinkards to iffy, unstoppable Binkie Beaumont, here is a spry, vivid overview of that throbbing and wondrous organism, British theatre. -- Quentin Letts * Daily Mail *
