 A short history of Western performance space.
Author: Wiles, David Published: 2003 This innovative book provides an historical account of performance space within the theatrical traditions of western Europe. David Wiles takes a broad-based view of theatrical activity as something that occurs in churches, streets, public houses, and galleries, as much as in buildings explicitly designed to be theatres. He traces a diverse set of continuities from Greece and Rome to the present, including many areas that do not figure in standard accounts of theatre history. |
