"It is a comprehensive resource that can, in different ways, serve both advanced scholars and novice students, and would be a useful text for both undergraduate and graduate courses covering Asian theatre. It will inspire and facilitate faculty to move curricula beyond the familiar genres usually covered in this arena to include more updated views of the subject. It also honors the dedicated scholars who have devoted themselves to this research."CLAUDIA ORENSTEIN, Hunter College, CUNY, Theatre Journal
