Readership: students and teachers of theatre, practitioners and the general theatregoer.
The Cambridge Guide to Theatre offers a wealth of information on the history and present practice of theatre in all parts of the world. Written by a team of international experts, it clearly depicts the dynamic interaction of performance traditions from all cultures in present-day theatre. While saluting the history and traditions of 'high' art in the theatre, the Guide also celebrates the importance of 'low' art: the energy and animation that has infused popular theatre and popular entertainment for thousands of years.
Many entries, ranging from
cabaret to
Chekhov.
A
listing of 'less obvious entries', enhancing access to the
Guide.
