Praise for this book
"...because many people find it hard to read plays [Unwin] had written this book to help them. And it works surprisingly well... A useful book, then, from which I learned a lot"--The Stage
"an overview of contemporary theatrical thinking, distilling into a single volume a lifetime of [Unwin's] own wisdom.. Aspiring directors, actors and quite possibly critics will certainly derive much from The Well Read Play... essential reading"-British Theatre Guide
