Recenzii

A highly usable resource for text analysis and addressing plays. However, it is so much more than this and I suggest that it be considered as a seminal textbook ... As well as the detailed attention to play extracts and the highly useable frameworks within which to address the scripted play, this seminal text skilfully locates the understanding of the dramatic script within socio-political historical contexts ... A trusted text given a welcome spruce up.
This newly revised classic, now with a much-needed section on the postdramatic, will grace the studio as much as the seminar room, empowering the next generation of students to talk about plays with genuine precision and insight.
Studying Plays attends to the diverse critical practices essential to the multidisciplinary study of drama. Ranging across formal elements of drama to bodies, space, and the cultures of performance, it suggestively engages undergraduates, instructors, and a wider audience.
The durability of this excellent book confirms the importance of comprehensive and detailed methodical explanations of how drama works and becomes theatre. Essential reading for all young practitioners and students.
Studying Plays offers a model of diversity in terms of the examples it draws on from a range of periods and genres, but also in terms of the race, gender and sexuality of those who made the work discussed. That it does so without compromising the depth and rigour of the analysis is a testament to the skill and commitment of the authors. The combination of breadth, depth and rigour makes it a book that students and their tutors can return to again and again.
