'The collection is an excellent guide for readers who want to get to grips with the complexity and mixity of genres, processes and environments involved in contemporary French theatre.'
- David Whitton, Emeritus Professor, Department of European Languages and Cultures, Lancaster University, UK

'Finburgh and Lavery state their twofold purpose: to examine recent experimental theater and performance in France and to consider the political and aesthetic ramifications surrounding those practices...Of particular interest is Céline Hersant's analysis of the "landscaped narratives" of Minyana and Renaude. Jean-Pierre Han offers intriguing insights on the interface between the economy and developments in theater. Susan Haedicke conveys a vivid impression of street theater...Summing Up: Recommended. - CHOICE
