Indeed, the theatre is a temple and has been centuries; uplifting, entertaining, educating, and inspiring the masses. Mr. Nderitu's new book - the second in his series on the theatre world - sheds a spotlight on the evolution of performance arts, Broadway, African theatre scenes, great playwrights, and - most surprisingly - the wacky world of professional wrestling!
