Présentation de l'éditeur

From Page to Performance looks at the transformation of a written text into a live and dramatic performance. The author stresses drama as a co-operative and performing art, with playwrights, directors, actors, stage managers, and technicians united to bring the text to life. This wide-ranging and practical guide presents: discussion and analysis of key areas in theatre - including language, play openings, the audience, and dramatic genres; play extracts to illustrate important aspects of the theatre; extracts by professional directors and actors; technical hints on directing and performing the extracts, and plays in general; suggestions for practical activities and follow-up work; glossary of terms.
