Theatre in Theory 1900-2000

“At once comprehensive and original, this collection assembles for the first time an impressive body of theory drawn from a wide range of disciplines and traditions. This will be an indispensable sourcebook for anyone who enjoys not only going to the theatre, but also thinking about it afterwards.” -Martin Puchner, Columbia University

“An eclectic anthology of writings on theatre, many made accessible here for the first time. The often bracing juxtaposition of viewpoints from practitioners, playwrights, scholars, and theoreticians reminds us how rich the collective discourse of theatre has been since the beginning of the twentieth century. Bridging the divides that have so often characterized this field, Theatre in Theory offers a resounding testament to theatre’s urgency in the modern world.” -Stanton B. Garner, Jr., University of Tennessee.

Description

“David Krasner’s new reader, Theatre in Theory 1900-2000, is certain to be a valuable resource for any theatre scholar or instructor whose beat includes the twentieth century. … Theatre in Theory is manna from heaven, quite simply the most ambitious collection of twentieth-century writing on dramatic theory ever published in one volume. … The collection is therefore ideal for use in a survey course or as a comprehensive overview for readers looking to deepen their understanding of the “big picture” of dramatic theory.” –Henry Bail (Univ. of Kansas), Book Review in Theatre History Studies Vol. 29 (2009). “This book presents perspectives from the era’s major playwrights, directors, scholars and philosophers.”
