Theater: Theory/Text/Performance
 

Winner: Association for Theatre in Higher Education's 2002 Award for Excellence in Editing

Series Editors: David Krasner, Emerson College and Rebecca Schneider, Brown University; Founding Editor, Enoch Brater

Theater: Theory/Text/Performance collects original books focusing on playwrights and other theater practitioners who have made their mark on the twentieth-century stage. The books in this series emphasize the work of a single author, a group of playwrights, a new context, or new theoretical approaches, especially those dealing with plays in any aspect of performance. Because theater is a collaborative art, the series will also support projects that open up dramatic texts to the more practical elements of staging and enactment.
