History of Theatre by Neil Grant
A comprehensive overview of 2,500 years of theatrical tradition, from the Dionysiac festivals of Ancient Greece to multi-million dollar Broadway shows, this new Hamlyn History encompasses the whole history of theatre throughout the world. Each theatrical tradition is analysed and placed into its historical and geographical context. The book also includes profiles of key dramatists and their works, performers and theorists, and is illuminated by quotes from the key-note works of each age.
