This brief edition combines a thorough study of the elements of theatre with a brief look at theatrical history and contemporary theatre. It is designed for use in courses also requiring students to read play scripts. It grounds students in the elements by examining the interplay between the audience, the critics, performers, directors, playwrights, designers, and the genres. The book covers various national theatres, such as those from Japan, Spain and India, and integrates effective pedagogical aids, such as you-are-there vignettes and timelines opening each historical chapter, learning objectives, chapter summaries, and a glossary.
