Reviews

"Steven Adler, greatly experienced in the American theatre as a Broadway stage manager, director, and teacher, . . . . affords us an objective American take on a very British institution. . . [He] paints a portrait of the RSC from many perspectives--the artistic, the technical, the administrative, and the fiscal--with the assured brushstrokes of an accomplished theatre professional and educator." --Chris Parry, from the Foreword

"Steven Adler's lucid and interesting account of the RSC draws upon interviews he has conducted, upon materials published by the RSC, and upon his highly informed and penetrating scrutiny of the operation... [A] valuable addition to our understanding of Great Britain's venerable institution."--Theatre History Studies
