Book excerpt: "The book is based on Russian and Western archive material, unpublished memoirs and letters, theatre reviews and interviews (the latter included Peggy Ashcroft, John Gielgud and Ernestine Stodelle Komissarzhevsky, the last wife of Fyodor Junior, who allowed the author access to her private archive)." "Apart from a few articles in academic journals (mainly about Vera) nothing has been written about the Komissarzhevskys. This book, as well as recording these three remarkable lives, traces the accumulation of Russian theatrical culture over a century, and its impact on British and American theatre."--BOOK JACKET.
