In this collection of reviews, think-pieces and commentaries from publications such as "The Times" and "Theatre Week", Charles Marowitz casts a critical eye over the highpoints of the past theatrical decade. He surveys such watershed productions as "Angels in America", "Oleanna", "Phantom of the Opera" and "Sunset Boulevard" and the work of such major playwrights as Tom Stoppard, Tony Kushner, David Mamet and Sam Shepard. The book also includes biographical pieces on Laurence Olivier, Kenneth Tynan, John Osborne, Sam Wanamaker and others.
