Reviews

[Red · Rating 5 out of 5]

Gives you a great insight in staging a play. Genet describes his thoughts and decissions in such a meticulous way that one can see the stage unfolding. Such a great playwright and visionary, and the reader gets the chance to follow his every step through this collection of his letters. Impressive!
