内容説明
This analysis of acting and characterization on stage covers theories of character from Aristotle to Brecht and approaches from formalism to post structuralism. Parts of the book were papers given to the Liverpool University English Department's Renaissance discussion group 1985 and the Durham Seventeenth Century Conference, 1987. The Early Theatre Group have, over the last 5 years, used an experimental approach to performing some of the plays written about in this volume. Edward Burns has also written "Restoration Comedy - Crises of Desire and Identity" and "The Chester Mystery Cycle - A Modern Staging Text" published by Macmillan.
