  This classic of theatre criticism is re-issued -with a new Foreword by the author - to mark his thirtieth year as a drama critic; One Night Stands is Michael Billington's own selection from twenty years of reviewing theatre for the Guardian - from 1971-1991. Ten years on, he is still at the Guardian: the longest serving theatre critic still writing - and by far the most respected. Arranged chronologically, with a five-thousand word introduction on the role of the critic, these reviews and occasional 'think pieces' add up to an authoritative yet highly personal history of the British theatre over two vital decades at the end of the twentieth century.
