Rezensionen

"Ground-breaking theatre-maker KJ Sanchez has given us both a manual and a manifesto. Her comprehensive knowledge of the art of the interview is delivered here in clear and lucid terms, braided with inspiring examples (from her own career, and from other leaders in the field) of how private reflection can be transformed into public artistry. Sanchez never loses sight of the fact that the true 'heroes' of this work are those being interviewed; those brave and vulnerable enough to give testimony in the courtroom of their own lives. A moving, bracing, and indispensable book for theatre-makers and citizens of the world alike."
