  This inquiry into the critical strategies that can be used to understand the dynamic processes of writing, reading, dramaturgy, rehearsal, production and reception of drama performance draws upon many of the recent insights developed in literary theory, semiotics and discourse analysis. A large number of references from various media are used to develop the main theoretical points and there are more detailed analyses of texts and performances which the author considers to be of special significance.
