There are over 2,000 titles available from The Arden Shakespeare and Methuen Drama, including a wide range of play editions, critical texts and theatre reference, as well as the digital library Drama Online. ‘Here is the book that every drama teacher should have on their shelf.’ – Sylvia Young OBE on 100 Acting Exercises for 8–18 Year Olds
‘Succeeds brilliantly as an Introduction for students – to every conceivable element of a play, from "The Title” to “Last Words,” with topics in between as diverse and as essential as “Stage Directions” and “Patterned Language." ... Lopez has created a wonderfully useful book.’ – William C. Carroll – Boston University, USA, on The Arden Introduction to Reading Shakespeare
‘The book is a testament to the talent, tenacity and passion of those women artists who so ardently pushed the Votes for Women agenda.’ – Kate Kerrow, For Books’ Sake on The Methuen Drama Book of Suffrage Plays
‘What fun it must be to have Cohen as a teacher! ... [His] compelling book offers us a haven.’ – Times Higher Education on ShakesFear and How to Cure it
‘A massive contribution to the art of theatre . . . It is dazzlingly astute and a thrilling read – quite unlike a text-book, rather a long, fascinating chat into the small hours.’ – The Stage on Theatre Games
