Reviews
'Kolin's argument is most convincing regarding Streetcar's 'sustaining power and protean magic', for he sophicatedly analyzes a wealth of Streetcar productions, revisions, revivals and 'radicalizations' since its 1947 debut.' Theatre History Studies, "Kolin's efforts...succeed admirably in providing a rich view of this script's convoluted history. Kolin does an admirable job of keeping the reader engaged with his clean and concise style...[A] welcome addition to the Plays in Production series." Midwest Quarterly, "This book represents a major synthesis of resources and commentary on productions of 'A Streetcar Named Desire' around the world and across five decades." Felicia Londre, Kansas City Star, 'Written in an engaging style, this book is a vital addition to the history of American theatre and to the study of Tennessee Williams.' Southern Theatre, 'Kolin's passionate attachment to the playwright frankly infuses his commentary … anyone who picks up his book will learn something new from this well written, entertaining and accessible mixture of theatre history, dramatic criticism, and cultural analysis.' American Drama, ‘It’s probably a good bet that [Williams] would have enjoyed reading Kolin’s entertaining and informative fifty-year record of his dramatic masterpiece.’World Literature Today, 'Kolin's passionate attachment to the playwright frankly infuses his commentary ... anyone who picks up his book will learn something new from this well written, entertaining and accessible mixture of theatre history, dramatic criticism, and cultural analysis.'American Drama, ‘Kolin’s argument is most convincing regarding Streetcar’s ‘sustaining power and protean magic’, for he sophicatedly analyzes a wealth of Streetcar productions, revisions, revivals and ‘radicalizations’ since its 1947 debut.’Theatre History Studies, 'It's probably a good bet that [Williams] would have enjoyed reading Kolin's entertaining and informative fifty-year record of his dramatic masterpiece.'

Kolin's passionate attachment to the playwright frankly infuses his commentary, his years of study and research into Williams' oeuvre inform his scholarly insights..." American Drama, ‘[A] marvellous investigation of Williams’ most famous play in production, fully attentive to design, music and acting.’Plays International, '[A] marvellous investigation of Williams' most famous play in production, fully attentive to design, music and acting.'Plays International, "Anyone who picks up his book will learn something new from this well-written, entertaining and accessible mixture of theatre history, dramatic criticism, and cultural analysis." American Drama, '[A] marvellous investigation of Williams' most famous play in production, fully attentive to design, music and acting.' Plays International, "...it is [Kolin's] vast reservoir of knowledge about Williams coupled with the depth of his astute assessment of the play in its various manifestations that raises this essential book to a level will beyond mere chronology. Undergraduates seeking an introduction to one of the seminal dramas of the 20th century and Williams scholars will find this book equally valuable." Choice, "With this series ['Plays in Production'] Cambridge University Press leads the way in paying attention to the central playtexts that have shaped the modern and the contemporary stage and according them the kind of historical and scholarly research that they deserve..." American Drama, "Kolin's discussion of the original production...admirably lays the groundwork for fully appreciating the vastly varied history of the play...This fine volume confirms the premise of the series [Plays in Production]: systematically documenting and critically assessing the performance histories of individual works provides a lively, accessible and valuable register for contemporary theatre historiography."
