Herbert Blau was a High Modernist to the core, a position from which he was able to critique the unruliness of the Postmodern, challenge those whose work failed to dig deeply enough into the understanding of theatre, and most importantly, to open doors into understanding Beckett, Brecht, Artaud, and others . . .These essays elucidate and further challenge Blau's body of work and will be of immense value: new generations of theatre/performance scholars will find avenues for engaging with Blau's work, while those familiar with Blau's ideas will welcome the opportunity to re-engage with them. ?--John Lutterbie, Stony Brook University
