Summary:
"Theatre, as distinct from other dramatic media, is essentially a
relationship between performer, spectator, and the space in which
both come together. Space in Performance examines the way theatre
buildings function to frame the performance event, the organization
of audience and practitioner spaces within the building, the nature
of the stage and the modes of representation it facilitates, and the
relationship between the real space of the theatre and the fictional
places that are evoked."--BOOK JACKET.
