How to See a Play by Richard Burton is a detailed and poetic how-to guide for preparing to watch and reflect on prominent 20th-century plays. Excerpt: "THIS book is aimed squarely at the theater-goer. It hopes to offer a concise general treatment upon the use of the theater, so that the person in the seat may get the most for his money; may choose his entertainment wisely, avoid that which is not worthwhile, and appreciate the values of artistic and intellectual of what he is seeing and hearing."
