'You have discovered a perishable treasure, and it is imperative to share it with other people before it fades... You have only one chance to get it right, while the impression is still fresh...' If critics often disagree among themselves over the merits of a given work, this is nothing compared to the wider argument about what the critic's role should be - Objective judge? Consumer guide?

In Theatre Criticism, first published in 1992, Irving Wardle sets out to define the credentials and aims of this vexed profession.
