"In the second volume of his compendium of Broadway plays on the themes of “Menace, Murder, and Mystery,” the retired theater professor and director Kabatchnik concentrates on the years 1930-60. The book catalogues a total of 88 works, arranged in chronological order. The illuminating entries contain a summary and analysis of the plot (including “potentially offensive elements” of derogatory content, to maintain an accurate historical perspective), biographical information about the playwright, major actors, and director, details of production data, and the play’s reception by critics and scholars. It’s an invaluable reference source for theater historians and a must-have for dedicated fans of Broadway."
