Synopsis

This account of the history of theatre draws on the latest scholarly research to describe and celebrate theatre's greatest achievements over 4500 years, from festival performances in ancient Egypt to international multicultural theatre in the late 20th century. Written by a team of distinguished authors and illustrated throughout, this should be a valuable source of reference for students, teachers, theatre professionals, and the theatre-goer alike.
