"London is the theatre capital of the world. From world-famous musicals to West End shows, from cutting-edge plays to Shakespeare in its original staging, from outdoor performance to intimate fringe theatre, the range and quality is unsurpassed. Michael Coveney and Peter Dazeley invite you on a tour of the forty-six theatres that make London what it is, with stories of the architecture, the productions and the personalities that have defined each one. Sumptuous photographs by Peter Dazeley of the public areas, auditorium and backstage complete the picture"--Dust jacket.
