THE LIVING EXPERIENCE of a play, as of a novel, or a piece of music, is a river of feeling within us which flows, now fast, now slow, now placidly between broad banks, now in a torrent between narrow ones, now down a slope, now over rapids, now cascading in a waterfall, now halted by a dam, now debouching into an ocean.

"What Is Theatre? collects all of Bentley's reviews - which cover the premieres of masterpieces by T.S. Eliot, Tennessee Williams, Jean Anouilh, Arthur Miller, and many other classic writers - as well as essays on subjects ranging from Charlie Chaplin to the Peking Opera. Bentley writes with wit and panache, and his book is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding what our American theatre has been, is now, and could become."--BOOK JACKET.
