Recenzii
Brilliantly evokes the day-to-day life of a great theatre ... The genius of Rosenthal's book, which is both a revelation and a celebration, is to tell this story in the participants' words ... The presence of rarely heard voices is a great strength of the book ... The life-changing power of letters.
Vivid and dramatic ... whisks through the personnel and the plays with brio, well-judged illustrations and incisive editing ... revelatory and engrossing
A gossipy but scholarly selection of memos, letters, postcards and emails from National talents including Olivier, Scofield, Stoppard, Pinter, Dench and Carol Ann Duffy. The theatre could surely get a great show from the book.
Incredibly accessible, great fun and nostalgic in the very best way. It cannot be recommended highly enough.
One of the best books I've ever been given to review ... The perfect gift for anyone who loves the theatre.
A must-read for theatre fans
Such exchanges will intrigue anyone who has taken a close interest in the landmarks of twentieth century theatre. The book's varied insights are invaluable too ... riveting
The best book on the performing arts to have been published in years
This fascinating tome offers an insider's history of the National Theatre, via some 800 letters exchanged between Artistic Directors, actors, directors, playwrights, politicians, agents, critics and more. From arcane trivia through to vigorous words on the very nature and purpose of drama, it's a theatre geek's must-have.
Compulsive reading ... The fascinating result is like eavesdropping on theatrical history ... However, the book transcends gossip to expose the highs and lows of being at the helm of a national institution ... The book provides the best insight since the publication of Peter Hall's Diaries into how the National works ... I recommend Dramatic Exchanges for its exposure of the private faces of people in public places.
Praise for The National Theatre Story:The story of the National Theatre is as packed with drama as anything it has staged
This is a story with guts, great actors, laughter, disaster, and other properties that most books don't possess
A uniquely revealing story of life within a great cultural institution.
This is a book to dip in and out of, take it at a leisurely pace, and it will keep surprising and informing you for years to come.
a fascinating treasure trove...It's a rare opportunity to sneak behind the curtain and eavesdrop on theatre at the highest level
