New Readings in Theatre History (Theatre and Performance Theory) Book

Over the centuries theatre history has been interpreted in ways which highlight and often omit key elements. Jacky Bratton employs her expertise to explore this dilemma to discover how theatre history has been chronicled and how it is interpreted. Using a series of case studies from nineteenth-century British theatre, Bratton examines the differencebetween the existence of 'the drama' (plays and play literature) and 'the stage' (performance, theatre building, and attendance). In the end, we gain a new perspective on theatre history and the discipline overall.Read More
