2005 NEW ENGLAND THEATRE JOURNAL

New England Theatre Journal (a publication of the New England Theatre
Conference) invites Book Reviews for its 2005 edition. A refereed
publication, New England Theatre Journal is concerned with advancing the
study and practice of theatre and drama by printing articles of the
highest quality on a broad range of subjects, including traditional
scholarship, performance theory, pedagogy, and articles on theatre
performance, design and technology.

NETJ prints two types of Book Reviews: Full reviews (1000 words) and
Briefly Noted (175-200 words each). Following are listed books
available for either type and a few that are offered only for Brief
