Product Description

Product Description
This bold undertaking covers Western theatre from ancient Greece to the present day. It traces the development of dramatic art through the miracle plays, the great Shakespearean period, Moliere and Racine in France, Goethe in Germany, through the 19th century and the main movements in the 20th century. It is illustrated by numerous examples of differing styles, with some historical recordings as well and excerpts from nearly 50 plays. A fascinating journey. It is written by David Timson, the British actor and director who features extensively on Naxos Audiobooks in both roles.

5.0 out of 5 stars The History Of Theatre Is A Masterpiece!, 22 Sep 2000
By carlag@uswest.net (Tacoma, Washington, USA) - See all my reviews
For anyone who is a student of theatre or drama and wants a better understanding of the subject or who simply loves Derek Jacobi, this would be the book for you! Here you'll find out where we picked up the term''slapstick'', for example, and become better acquainted with people like Eugene O'Neill, Moliere, and, naturally, William Shakespeare! Jacobi's articulate narration of each era of theatrical history truly makes this a masterpiece!
