The Guinness Dictionary of Theatrical Quotations - Tapa blanda

Dorothy Parker once described an actress as running the gamut of emotions from A to B. The same could not be said of this book, which runs from A to Z - from Aristophanes to Zeffirelli - and draws on plays, lyrics, critical reviews, correspondence, autobiography and conversation to provide theatrical quotes, some well-known and some not so. Sections are devoted to varied cross-referenced quotes on topics such as acting, theatres, plays, writers and performers, from Sarah Bernhardt to Kenneth Branagh and from Lillian Gish to Samuel Johnson.
