The Great Stage Directors series offers an authoritative account of the work, lineage and legacy of major theatre directors from the late 19th century to the present. Arranged in two sub-series of European and North American directors, the eight volumes in each set provide a comprehensive survey and analysis of the practices and theoretical ideas of 24 prominent theatre directors, showing their origins and development and placing them in a historical context that includes other significant directors and theatre makers. Written by a team of experts, this series combines established accounts with new research and interpretation developed specifically for the series. A product of rigorous and contemporary scholarship, these well-illustrated volumes are essential reading for theatre practitioners, academics and students.
