Reviews
Robin Nelson respects his subject and his readers. The outcome is a wonderfully accessible book that makes a convincing case that Poliakoff's 40-year career demands our attention in this media- saturated age. -- Peter Thomson * Studies in Theatre and Performance June 2012. Vol 32 Issue 2 *
Robin Nelson's book on Stephen Poliakoff offers the first comprehensive overview of the work of one of Britain's most prolific dramatic auteurs... Combining insightful and well-contextualized observations about Poliakoff's works with a good deal of historical research, the book should be widely welcomed as the definitive critical guide to Poliakoff. * Journal of Screenwriting, February 2012, Vol 3 Issue 2 *
