(P/B) THE THEATRE

Παρουσίαση

Acting, direction, stagecraft, theatre architecture and design, the extraordinary evolution of dramatic literature - here is an all-embracing and richly illustrated history, global in scope and ranging from the ancient origins of the theatre to the fascinating variety of forms that it has taken in our own age.
Phyllis Hartnoll, the book's original author, was editor of the Oxford Companion to the Theatre and a well-known authority on theatre history. For this fourth edition, Enoch Brater - a specialist on modern and contemporary drama, has revised and extended the final chapter. He surveys performance art, political theatre, new genres, live broadcasts and extravagant spectacles, showcasing the constant and dynamic evolution of stage performance, from classics reinvented to groundbreaking new work.
