This ain't your mother's dictionary folks, it's the real deal! Hey performing arts students, it's the Dictionary of the Theatre: Terms, Concepts, and Analysis!
More properly called an encyclopedia, this indispensable work is a must-use for any researcher grappling with the often elusive and squirmy antagonist of theatre and performance theory. The Dictionary features an illuminating thematic index, which groups entries into those concerning Dramatugy, Text and Discourse, Actor and Character, Genres and Forms, Staging, Structural Principles and Aesthetic Questions, Reception, and Semiology. Consisting of brief to mid-length entries with references, and authored by Patrice Pavis, a French expert in the field, this book may just become your new hero!
To research or not to research? There can be no question. Don't be a fool - consult this masterly tome when the demands of theory are upon you.
