In particular, the volume contains the famous manifestos of the revolutionary Alfred Jarry Theatre, production plans, notes and critical articles. Also included is a series of articles on literature and the plastic arts, written during the same period. The variety and humour of such a wide range of work certainly constitutes a fertile source for those seeking a new approach to the theatre and its allied arts.'
