Publisher description
The modern era in the theatre is remarkable for the extraordinary role and
influence of theoretical practitioners, whose writings have shaped our sense of
the possibilities and objectives of performance. This study offers a critical
exploration of the theoretical writings of key modern practitioners from
Stanlislavski to Boal. Designed to be read alongside primary source material,
each chapter offers not only a summary and exposition of these theories, but a
critical commentary on their composition as discourses. Close scrutiny of the
cultural context and figurative language of these important, and sometimes
difficult, texts yields insight into the ideas of these practitioners. The modern era in the theatre is remarkable for the extraordinary role and
influence of theoretical practitioners, whose writings have shaped our sense of
the possibilities and objectives of performance. This study offers a critical
