Publisher's Summary

Now in a second edition, Theatre Studies: The Basics is a fully updated guide to the wonderful world of theatre. The practical and theoretical dimensions of theatre—from acting to audience—are woven together throughout to provide an integrated introduction to the study of drama, theatre and performance.

Topics covered include:

  • Dramatic genres, from tragedy to political documentary
  • Theories of performance
  • The history of the theatre in the West
  • Acting, directing and scenography

With a glossary, chapter summaries and suggestions for further listening throughout, Theatre Studies: the Basics remains the ideal starting point for anyone new to the subject.
