Description

"In this second volume in the 'Stage by Stage' series Philip Freund takes us beyond the barriers of culture and language to introduce us to the theatrical traditions and stagecraft of India, China, Japan, Korea and the many independent lands surrounding them. He describes the challenges that exponents of both Eastern and Western drama are facing as our cultures clash as never before and at the same time demonstrates how universal is the impulse to dramatize our experience." "This comprehensive account of the development of Eastern stagecraft will help Western readers to gain a better understanding of Oriental drama and will greatly enrich the resources available to those who work in the theatre."--Jacket.
