Drama, Stage, and Audience

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Styong>anong>, J.

It is self evident that a play must communicate or it is not a play at all. Professor Styong>anong> argues that, while communication in drama begins with ong>theong> script, ong>theong> value or power of a play must be tested upon ong>anong> audience. In ong>theong> ong>theong>atre experience, it is not so much ong>theong> elements of drama on ong>theong> stage or ong>theong> perceptions of ong>theong> audience which are importong>anong>t, as ong>theong> relationships ong>betweenong> ong>theong>m. It follows that ong>theong> study of drama is ong>theong> study of how ong>theong> stage compels its audience to be involved in its actual processes; it is a study of a particular social situation. Professor Styong>anong> discusses in detail ong>theong> particular social situation, conditions of performong>anong>ce ong>anong>d physical playhouse in which a play thrives. ong>Theong>re is a wealth of examples from all periods of Western drama.

This book will appeal to students, actors ong>anong>d directors of drama, as well as ong>theong> ong>theong>atregoers.
