Popular and accessible in its approach, the Companion has 2,400 entries presented in a compact and portable format, and includes a timeline of historical and cultural events in the world of theatre and performance from c.3000 BC to the present day, as well as an extensive bibliography and an appendix of useful web links, which is supported and can be accessed through a companion website.
