Opis

Addressed to the enthusiastic theatregoer as well as to students of contemporary theatre, this new edition includes a fresh chapter on Hapgood. Anthony Jenkins is an actor and director as well as a teacher of drama, and this refreshing perspective informs his writing. He is interested in how Stoppard's plays work in the theatre, and describes the playwright's use of stage space and action, interior emotions, the pauses in the dialogue, as well as the dialogue itself.
