Opis

What's the best way to learn about the different periods in theatre history? By example, of course In "A Brief History of Theatre," the audience is taken on a tour of theatre history by presenting (almost) the same story in three styles: Ancient Greek, Elizabethan, and Modern Musical. The fourth wall is irreparably broken as two Announcers introduce and comment on three separate yet inseparable plays: "Four Against a Serpent," "All's Well That's Dressed in Armor," and "Sammy & Kate." Designed for flexible casting, the show has twenty-three speaking roles (not counting the Greek Chorus) and room for plenty of extras, but can be performed with as few as nine actors of any gender.
