Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
This book brings together creativity scholars engaged in experimental and scientific inquiry with theatre and performance professionals in a dynamic exchange of ideas. Featuring a distinguished group of contributors and edited by a leading voice in creativity studies and an award-winning theatre composer, this collection fosters meaningful collaboration between academics and practitioners, offering insights that enrich both fields.
Each chapter examines a key theme at the intersection of creativity and theatre—such as group creativity, emotion, constraints, and creative metacognition—and includes responses from Broadway and West End professionals. These responses, grounded in lived experience, offer illustrative examples, thoughtful challenges, and nuanced extensions of the scholars’ perspectives.
This volume is a valuable resource for those in psychology, education, and creativity studies with an interest in theatre and performance.
