Wiggins shows how much we can learn about shows for which there is no surviving text by piecing together information about their physical construction, the reactions of spectators and the immediate political context. Lois Potter, Times Literary Supplement A simulating and enlightening study of works that the author has brought back into the light. Andrew Hadfield, Around the Globemehr
