An amazing theatre textbook. It covered a wide range and was set up chronologically rather than by culture, which made more sense to me than any other theatre history text I've used. It also covered cultures and types of theatre that I had never heard of before, rather than focusing on Western cultures. The writing style was approachable and held my interest easily. There were many photos, drawings, and diagrams, which all served to augment the reading.

I highly recommend it. Especially because it is an entertaining textbook while still being vastly informative.

REALLY GOOD WORLD THEATRE TEXT - Pistol Pete - Chicago, IL
I use this book for Theatre Pedagogy at Virginia Commonwealth Univ. (grad). While it is required reading for the semester, this text is different than all the other synchronic histories out there, and takes the diachronic viewpoint of theatrical performance that occurred in various parts of the world in particular times.
This book is easy to understand and DOESN'T BORE YOU WITH FACTS; indeed, this is not what this book is intended for. It's to open the reader's eyes to the marginalized facets of performance so often neglected in theatrical texts.
