Description
What is the Theatre? offers one of the most coherent and systematic descriptions and analyses of theatre yet compiled. This comprehensive guide explores theatre as spectacle - a fleeting performance delivered by actors to spectators. The book examines theatre as a work of the body, analysing voice and gesture addressed to audiences in specific locations with unique settings. It unpacks the entertainment event as a promise fulfilled through particular and unique performances, witnessed by spectators who gather specifically to experience live theatre. Essential reading for anyone studying arts, design, architecture, or performance theory, this Routledge publication provides foundational understanding of theatre's nature, structure, and audience relationship.
