The Theatre Quotation Book

In two acts that consider what the theatre is and what it does, a star-studded cast of intellects, wits and wags here take centre stage to enlighten, provoke, and amuse. A collection of close to 1000 distinctive anecdotes, aphorisms, adages and assaults written and spoken by actors, directors, composers, producers, critics and other observers -- everyone from Sophocles to David Mamet, from Buddah to Brando.
