Synopsis
This book extensively examines theatre, examining not only the plays but the history of playhouses, the transformation of theatre into a mass entertainment, and the roles of the theatre in society and changing cultural values. It analyzes how playwrights define class, gender, and race in their work, discussing the history of dramatic censorship -- intended to protect the morals of society -- and how censorship has persisted into the modern day with other societal functions. The work is essential reading for any theatre student, enthusiast, or scholar, providing a comprehensive overview of the art form, its expressions, and history.
