Book Synopsis
This collection of theatre writings by the Russian modernist Sigizmund Krzhizhanovsky brings his powerful, wildly imaginative vision of theatre to an English-language audience for the first time. The centerpiece is his play That Third Guy (1937), a farce written at the onset of the Stalinist Terror and never performed.

Trade Review
"Sensitively translated and with insightful essays by Lin, this publication introduces us to Krzhizhanovsky’s densely argued philosophical reflections on the art of the theatre, including analyses of Shakespeare, Pushkin and Shaw [...] Caryl Emerson adds a fine foreword, as well as a consideration of Krzhizhanovsky’s work on a stage production of Eugene Onegin for the Pushkin Jubilee in 1937." - Julie Curtis, TLS, March 2019
