Each volume contains a comprehensive checklist of all the writer's plays, with a detailed performance history, excerpted reviews and a selection of the writers' own comments on their work."Methuen are to be congratulated on launching this series...;extremely useful to theatre professionals as well as to students and teachers of drama" (David Bradby, Speech and Drama)Parkin, Andrew is the author of 'File on Nichols' with ISBN 9780413656001 and ISBN 0413656004.
