An update and revision of The Cambridge Guide to World Theater (1988), incorporating changes in the 1992 revised paper edition. An encyclopedia of playwrights, important actors and directors, theaters, companies, movements, events, technology, and other aspects of theater throughout time and place. Entries also discuss the history and current state of particular countries, many of which did not exist for the earlier editions. Lightly illustrated. Very few bibliographic references are provided, though the cross-referencing is good. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
