The A to Z of Russian Theater is the only reference work in English
devoted exclusively to Russian theater and drama. It provides
information on the popular plays and playwrights while also offering
information on many persons, works, and phenomena omitted from standard
encyclopedias. Through the use of a chronology, an introductory essay, a
bibliography, an appendix, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary
entries on directors, stage designers, actors, plays, playwrights,
concepts, theater buildings, and troupes, this reference provides an
unrivaled account of Russian theater.
