Twentieth Century Theatre: A Sourcebook is an inspired handbook of ideas and arguments on theatre. Richard Drain gathers together a uniquely wide-ranging selection of original writings on theatre by its most creative practitioners - directors, playwrights, performers and designers, from Jarry to Grotowski and Craig. These key texts span the twentieth century, from the onset of modernism to the present. They provide direct access to the thinking behind much of the most stimulating theatre our century has had to offer, as well as a guide to the most adventurous current developments. Setting theory beside practice, the writings bring alive a number of vital and continuing concerns, each of which is given full scope in five sections which explore the Modernist, Political, Inner and Global dimensions of twentieth century theatre. Twentieth Century Theatre: A Sourcebook provides illuminating perspectives on past history, and throws fresh light on the sources and development of theatre today. It is an essential and versatile collection for students at all levels, and offers a feast of ideas for anyone interested in or involved in theatre.
