Book review - "Grand-Guignol: The French Theatre of Horror" by Richard Hand and Michael Wilson

The other major English language work on Grang Guignol is more academic-y with lots of irritating references, is perhaps a bit more thoroughly researched but is less readable and fun than Gordon's book. But it does have advantages - it has the full script of ten plays, and the authors run their own Grand Guignol theatre company so can bring their expertise to describing the plays. It seems a key of the theatre were the comedies - the thing very few remember about it but you needed it for the hot and cold shower.
