we use this book in school and it is very helpful in terms of learning about the different genre, theatres and practitioners but i think it could have a little bit more because sometimes my teacher asks the class to research a bit more about the ways the theatres were set or the practitioners worked. this book could, honestly, have a bit more on the overall work of the practitioners or the designing of a theatre rather than focusing on the tasks or the study of different plays that are not even going to be talked about in class.
