Review Quotes: "A delicately structured exploration of powerlessness which like Kaldor's Inventory of Powerless, considers 'one experience through the filter of another'. This collection of conversations and essays offers depth of analysis and an extraordinary breadth of perspectives across multiple voices. Essential reading for anyone seeking insight into contemporary international dramaturgies." --Kate Adams, University of Salford, UK
