Opis

This introductory theatre text aims to help the reader develop an appreciation of all the aspects of theatre-acting, design, direction, theatre buildings and audiences. The main focus is on present-day theatre, with special emphasis given to actors and the plays they perform. In the second part, leading practitioners of different generations and races describe their own work, providing insights into what it is like to work in theatre today. The text is not tied to specific plays, but is designed to be effective whatever plays a student sees and reads.
