World Encyclopedia of Contemporary Theatre
The second volume of the World Encyclopedia of Contemporary Theatre covers the Americas, from Canada to Argentina, including the United States.

This is a unique volume in its own right; in conjunction with the other volumes in this series it forms a reference resource of unparalleled value.
