商品簡介
Barton (acting, U. of Oregon) and McGregor (theatre, Pennsylvania State U.) provide theatre students who are mostly non-majors with an introduction to play reading, production, viewing, and evaluation; key moments in theatre history; how theatre influences lives in various contexts; and how to use theatre to understand culture (with inclusion of non-Western theatre throughout). Play excerpts and comparisons to film and other media are incorporated. This edition adds learning objectives and has streamlined chapters on history, with new illustrations. It has sample scenes; more coverage of musicals and regional theatre; a new section on eco-theatre; and more on the role of the critic, including summaries of critical responses and sample reviews for the last two feature plays.
