Dustwrapper a little rubbed. Very good condition. 'Leonard Schach participated in every stage of the development of a theatre in South Africa between the years 1925 and 1994. He produced and directed some of the best plays ever to be seen in this country. The Flag is Flying is an engrossing personal history of the South African theatre by the "whole theatre man", filled with notable and perceptive anecdotes and sympathetic, sharp and convincing pen-portraits of theatre personalities.
The passion Schach brought to his work in theatre permeates his recollections of the period and events he experienced first-hand. The generous selection of illustrations, some never previously published, is a visual celebration of the development of South African theatre.' .
