THE THEATRE IN OUR TIMES

by John Gassner ‧ RELEASE DATE: N/A

A series of essays covers a wide theatrical range, both here and in England and Ireland, and works its way from the general to the specific. Types of plays, productions, dramatists; criticism, history, trends; moving pictures, radio and TV -- these are some of the topics investigated and commented upon. Ibsen, Strindberg, Becque, Anderson, Yeats, Synge, Shaw, Miller, Odets and others are considered not only for their contributions but for the manifestations of their development and the mechanics of their plays. A discussion of twentieth century stagecraft enlightens the half century and has its market primarily in drama courses, serious study groups and teaching.
