Editorial Reviews
Review
'The short exercises ... beautifully close the filmed episodes ... This is an 'innovative publication', as the book's blurb states.' - SEER
'[A] richly evocative personal account ... How refreshing to encounter a major publication about theatre that is driven and organized ... by the open expression of Staniewski's passions ... Combining provocative text and rich audio-visual materials, this publication takes us as far as any publication could into Garzience's 'hidden territories' ... Hidden Territories offers a superb model for future publications [and includes] a CD-ROM so beautifully produced and with such high-quality graphics.' - Contemporary Theatre
'Routledge brought out two facsinating theatre books this year ... Staniewski's book is ... written in a delightfully idiosyncratic English [and] provides new lenses with which to measure and undertand.' - Katie Mitchell, The Guardian
