title: Mis-directing the Play: An Argument Against Contemporary Theatre
author: Terry Mccabe
description: Eminently sensible, delivered with cogent examples and equally cogent arguments. It is a heartfelt cry that needs to be heard. (Nicholas Rudall)<br /><br />One of the paradoxes of the theatre is that the artistry of its greatest directors is largely invisible...Terry McCabe raises the curtain on why this must be so. (Gregory Mosher)<br /><br />I would be delighted if every director I work with read and gave serious consideration to the ideas in this book. (Jeffrey Sweet)
