In addition to the art and craft of directing, there are discussions on multiculturalism; the "classical" repertoire; theatre companies and institutions; working in a foreign language; opera; Shakespeare; new technologies; the art of acting; design; international festivals; politics and aesthetics; the audience; and theatre and society.

Finally, there is an epilogue by Peter Brook, Jonathan Miller and Oliver Sacks. -- .
