Industry reviews
"The essays in the current volume (for that is what they mostly are, essays masquerading as reviews) provide insight not only into his lengthy and productive life in the theater but also into an entire philosophy and history of American and other play-making during that period, expressed in highly idiosyncratic terms. The results are thoroughly engrossing for anyone with more than a passing interest in the subject."
Los Angeles Times Book Review - Sylvie Drake (07/23/2000)

What Is Theatre?, originally published in 1968, collects all of Eric Bentley's theater criticism. Bentley's most productive years as a reviewer coincided with some of the greatest years of twentieth-century drama. His essays cover the premieres of works by T. S. Eliot, Tennessee Williams, Jean Anouilh, and Arthur Miller, among others, as well as subjects as far-ranging as Charlie Chaplin and the Peking Opera--and each contains insights that are still relevant. What Is Theatre? is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding what our American theater has been, is now, and could become.
