A lavishly illustrated collection of on-the-spot and authoritative surveys of current theatrical activity from across the globe, this work covers the three seasons from 1999-2000, 2000-1 and 2001-2.

The latest edition of "World of Theatre" offers a close-up view of the most significant productions and theatre trends in over 60 countries. Covering the past three seasons, from 1999-2000 to 2001-2002, the fully illustrated volume explores the diversity of the current global dramatic scene, ranging from magisterial round-ups by leading critics in Europe and North America to what are sometimes literally reports from the battlefield in war-torn countries such as Congo or Yugoslavia.
The "World of Theatre" is published under the auspices of the International Theatre Institute (ITI), an international non-governmental organization (NGO) that was founded by UNESCO and the international theatre community in Prague in 1948.
