Extremely fast delivery. After I ordered it and it was shipped I received an email stating that the earliest it would arrive would be about 2 weeks later. I got it within 3-4 business days. I highly recommend this seller.

diverse ways of seeing

Barranger gives a nice overview of contemporary theatre, with a natural emphasis on the American scene. Classical theatre is well described. But also recent, avant-garde troupes like the Las Vegas Blue Man Group get passing mention. You can cultivate an appreciation of the diversity in the theatrical world. The book is heavily integrated with InfoTrac and Wadworth's website. The latter gives the interested student many worthwhile resources that complement the text's narrative. These include academic journals and other publications. Well suited for graduate work or simply a deeper look at the subject.
