Theatre Symposium, V 20 : Gods and Groundlings: Historical Theatrical Audiences, Paperback / softback Book

Theatre Symposium, V 20 : Gods and Groundlings: Historical Theatrical Audiences Paperback / softback

Edited by E. Wallace

Paperback / softback

Description

The audience is an integral part of performance and is in fact what separates a rehearsal from a performance.

The relationship, however, between performers and the audience has evolved over time, which is one of the subjects addressed, along with the changing disposition of the audience itself and a number of other topics, in Gods and Groundlings, volume 20 of the annual journal Theatre Symposium.

The essays in this volume discuss spectatorship in historical context, the role of the audience in the digital age, the early modern English transvestite theatre, Annie Oakley and the disruption of Victorian audiences, and historical attempts to create ideal audiences.

Edited by E. Bert Wallace, this latest publication from the largest regional theatre organization in the United States collects the most current scholarship on theatre history and theory.
