Description
A thoroughly updated and expanded edition of The Continuum Companion to Twentieth Century Theatre, now with more coverage than ever.
An A to Z of modern theatre from across the world, stretching from the late-19th century to the present day, this encyclopedia features both short entries and more in-depth articles contributed by a unique team of expert academics and celebrated practitioners.
Entries include audiences, body art, burlesque, carnival, circus, cosplay, dramatic theories, escapology and geek theatre to digital scenography, fireworks, immersive theatre, magic, queer theatre, puppet theatre, verbatim theatre and waxworks.
Entries on the interaction of theatre and other art forms, such as opera, dance, pop music, hip hop, television, radio and cinema, are included alongside entries on theatre's relationship to a plethora of topics such as food, fashion, photography, empire, slavery, globalization, race, and gender.
Overviews of major concepts, genres and topics can be found alongside entries on individual actors, choreographers, composers, critics, designers, directors, playwrights and producers. Individual cities, festivals, institutions, theatres, and theatre companies are covered in tandem with longer articles on individual countries across the continents.
Combining factual, biographical and reflective articles and totally around 3,000 entries, The Methuen Drama Encyclopedia of Modern Theatre gives the reader more texture of theatrical experience and insight than any other encyclopedia.
