'I’ve been working with Eliot over several years and always find him a clear and communicative thinker, eager to impart fresh insights, imaginative and enthusiastic about whatever is under discussion. He is highly informed, deeply knowledgeable about theatre, not only its theory but also putting that theory into practice.'
