description: Pivoting on ten individual plays, Wu (Romantic studies, Oxford U.) interviews the playwrights and the directors of performances between 1984 and 1998. They discuss such topics as whether there is such a thing as the theatrical sublime, how dramatists have responded to the changing political climate of the 1980s and 1990s, Brenton on Brecht, Bennett on Larkin, Edgar on eastern Europe, and Hare on Chekhov.
