Description
Reading the Material Theatre offers a comprehensive approach to theatrical performance analysis, considering the entire theatre experience from production to reception. By combining semiotic and cultural materialist theory with detailed politicized analysis, Richard Paul Knowles provides a nuanced understanding of how specific aspects of production and context shape audience interpretation.
This accessible volume includes five case studies of diverse theatres, exploring their unique cultural work and performance practices. A first-step introduction to key terms in performance theory, including reception history, performance analysis, and production analysis, makes this book an ideal starting point for those new to the subject.
