“This book is a valuable addition to anglophone literature on theatre and the performing arts, new media, and the digital paradigm. It certainly enriches the knowledge base of the field of arts and humanities. Its refinement would only allow it to shine brighter to the advantage of scholars, practitioners, and students, who I am sure, will relish its timely contribution to the currently embattled art of the theatre.” (Aikaterini Delikonstantinidou, European Journal of American Studies, Issue 1, 2021)
