In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

The following is a list of plays the author attended in live performance . The names of the companies have been shortened to initials, as listed in the Abbreviations at the front of the book. The length and completeness of each performance is noted according to the following categories: Long plays that tellacompletestoryarelabeled“soleitemperformed.”“Short play” identifies a performance that consists of only a few scenes from a larger work, but the selection tells a reasonably complete story. Short plays often appear with other items in one program. “Single scene” is a scene extracted from a longer play but performed under a title specific to that scene, which differs from the title of the complete play. “Excerpt” indicates a shorter version of the first two categories and is performed under the same title as the longer version. In a small minority of cases, assignment to a category was not entirely straightforward. At the Mouth of the River at Jiujiang (Jiu jiang kou). PRSCJ (sole item performed), Beijing, China.
