Cover of Ayanna Thompson: Shakespeare in the Theatre: Peter Sellars (PDF)

The first in-depth look at Peter Sellars, the avant-garde director whose Shakespeare productions have polarized communities and critics.

An iconoclastic figure who inspires strong reactions both personally and professionally, Peter Sellars continues to amaze and confound. This book takes readers inside his world for the first time.
