Summary: "In the hands of the twentieth century's most innovative dramatists, characters have revealed their identities on stage in a variety of unconventional ways: they speak with electronic voices or engage in solipsistic monologues; they are lost in self-conscious third-person forms of communicating or are expressed simply as movement, sound, and decor. Missing Persons is a study of character and its representation on the modern stage" -- Informació a la solapa
