This review is from: A Pocket Guide to Alan Ayckbourn's Plays (Paperback)
Do not buy Ayckbourn's "Crafty art of playmaking" without purchasing this pocket guide to his plays. Both stand alone but together they are unputdownable on first reading as the reader crosses from one to the other and back. Fascinating insights. Highly recommended.
