"A Choice Outstanding Academic Title of the Year"
"Abbott proves a companionable guide to the coincident developments in mathematics and theater, breaking down in layman’s terms such concepts as non-Euclidian geometry and explaining just how they relate to Stoppard, Beckett, Brecht, Jarry, and other avant-garde playwrights."---Robert Erickson, The New Criterion
"[Abbott] masterfully interweaves mathematical ideas and theatrical works. . . . A wonderful gem for anyone interested in mathematics or theater—or both. Encore!"---J. Johnson, Choice
"Extraordinary."---Paul J. Campbell, Mathematics Magazine
