One Night Stands: A Critic's View of Modern British Theatre (Nick Hern Books)

One Night Stands is Michael Billington’s own selection of theatre reviews from his twenty years of writing for the Guardian from 1971 to 1991. Arranged chronologically, with a 5,000 word introduction on the role of the critic, these reviews and occasional "think pieces" add up to an authoritative yet highly personal history of British theatre over two vital decades at the end of the 20th century.
