Description:Robin Nelson respects his subject and his readers. The outcome is a wonderfully accessible book that makes a convincing case that Poliakoff's 40-year career demands our attention in this media- saturated age. –– Peter Thomson Studies in Theatre and Performance June 2012. Vol 32 Issue 2 Robin Nelson's book on Stephen Poliakoff offers the first comprehensive overview of the work of one of Britain's most prolific dramatic auteurs… Combining insightful and well-contextualized observations about Poliakoff’s works with a good deal of historical research, the book should be widely welcomed as the definitive critical guide to Poliakoff.
