Designed to span Western theatre from the Greeks to the present day, each book
in this path-breaking series explores a period or a genre, drawing together aspects
of production from staging, wardrobe, and acting styles, to the management of
a theatre, its artistic team, and technical crew. Each volume focuses on several
texts of exceptional achievement, and is well illustrated with contemporary material.
