Table of Contents

'...a reference work to be reckoned with.' - Robert Shore, Around the Globe

'There is no disputing the depth of editorial research that has been undertaken in compiling the Directory...This is a substantial work, which will be of great use to scholars of Shakespeare in performance, drama students and the reader with casual interests in theatre.' - Keith M.C. O'Sullivan, Reference Reviews

'The editors, John O'Connor and Katharine Goodland, have chosen consistently interesting reviews from a wide variety of published sources, and have included records of all "those professional productions which had received national attention from newspaper reviewers or contributors to academic journals" (p. xii). They are to be congratulated on a signficant achievement. It is hard to imagine anyone interested in Shakespeare or modern theatre not being engrossed by this book. It should certainly figure on the shelves of any public or academic library.' - Routledge ABES June 2011
