"Flash and Crash Days: Brazilian Theater in the Post-Dictatorship period"
Published by David George
This book by David George is a magnificent review of Brazil's post dictatordship theater and it focuses on Gerald Thomas's art in particular. His incredible perception of Gerald's theater is one of the most sophispticated in existance and his ability to describe it is such that it almost brings the live performce to the reader. A must!
