About this product

Product Information

The Eighth Edition of THE ESSENTIAL THEATRE will help you get your students excited about theatre. The combined authorship of an authoritative theatre historian and his former student, an active theatre historian himself, make this the book perfect for your introductory theatre course. In the 35 years since it was first published, THE ESSENTIAL THEATRE has established a reputation as one of the most comprehensive, authoritative surveys of the theatre in academia. Now in a new full color format with many representations of current and classic performances, this text will encourage your students to become active theatergoers and fans. THE ESSENTIAL THEATRE works in tandem with its companion anthology, PLAYS FOR THEATRE. The scripts in PLAYS serve as a foundation for discussion of the various types of theatrical experience explored in the text.

Reviews
I find that this is the only current text that adequately covers the basic principles, players, performance traditions, and plays at this level., THE ESSENTIAL THEATRE provided a far more comprehensive survey of theatre history as well as a precise review of the major artists in theatre production. (The text) does a wonderful job of applying historical precedents to current practice., The Theatre Experience is thorough, complete, well-illustrated, and gives the reader the sense that the discipline has substance. I am well satisfied with it and have not found a comparable text to date.

Theatre book
I bought the book for my college theater class. It gives a good outline of theater and the workings of producing a play. Good examples of popular plays are used.

A lot of information, little claarification
I think this author liked to have himself talk. I would be a better text book if it explained what it was talking about half the time its the guy going on and on and suddenly there's a conclusion and your left scratching your head.
