Reviews

'A book that asks the questions about performance that come before the commonly asked is a book that approaches a theatre philosophy. If such a thing were not a contradiction in terms Simon Bayly's A Pathognomy of Performance would provide us with the exemplary exception we have been waiting for.' - Alan Read, Professor of Theatre, King's College London, UK
