“Thorpe’s study offers a wonderful overview of the ways in which Chinese theater has been imagined, translated, adapted, and imported onto the London Stage for four hundred years. … Much more useful and interesting is the way this large overarching thesis allows for a series of fascinating case studies of Chinese theater imagined, imported, translated, and adapted for the London audience.” (Paize Keulemans, CHINOPERL, Vol. 37 (2), 2018)
