Trade Review'Theatre & Architecture is a really rich resource. This short book is full of ideas, glancing between the opposing mirrors of theatre and architecture. A beautifully structured and wonderfully clear introduction to acknowledged areas of theory and practice that is brimming with ideas for further exploration. Rufford creates an excellent rapport with her reader, summarising complex areas deftly and handling a wealth of material in a way that is at once precise, astute and eminently readable.' - Cathy Turner, University of Exeter, UK
