Reviews for Edward Bond: A Critical Study
'Billingham's study is a success on many levels. For those familiar with Bond's plays, Billingham's explications offer important insights. For those unfamiliar with Bond's unique dramaturgy, the two interviews with director's of Bond's plays will serve as wonderful introductions to reading, acting and directing Bond's plays. Highly recommended for all readers.' - R. Sugarman, Southern Vermont College, USA
