Yet Johnston displays a remarkable feeling for the tenor of the times. The reader is confident that the writer has followed every lead and uncovered every relevant detail. Johnston's appendix on theatre productions is overwhelmingly complete and his chronology of events is an essential guide to all readers sharing this journey. Johnston's most effective chapter deals with the mythology surrounding the whole movement. As thoroughly modern theatre practitioners, the Toronto alternative creators were very conscious of the effect theatre could have on society at large, and it is perhaps in the various mythologies that surround the whole spectrum of activity of this period that the power and rich diversity of the alternative movement finds their fullest voice. Johnston's Boswellian approach amplifies this voice, thus serving both the theatre and the movement well.
