Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Only in theater does history generally not repeat itself. Each performance is unique unto itself, from the actors' interpretations to the audience members' responses. In this book, you'll explore the everevolving presence of theatre, in a lively, entertaining and historically accurate look at the theatrical traditions of England and Europe from the eighteenth century to present day.This book is the second in a series that chronicles the colorful study of theater history. Paula Gaj Sitarz breathes life into a subject that others often portray in a dry, 'facts only' manner. She incorporates interesting and often amusing perspectives that capture your attention and imagination. As School Library Journal said, 'Sitarz presents theatre history as an intriguing chronicle of human endeavor rather than merely a compilation of facts. Her style is both scholarly and appealing.'Sitarz covers a broad range of topics: eighteenth century theater; nineteenth century melodramas; realism; epic theater and theater of cruelty; absurdism; the development of European theater since 1960 and more. Showcasing more than 100 photographs and line drawings, 'The Curtain Rises' offers an instructive and inspiring text.The dramatic story of the theaters, the tale of courage and persistence, of obstacles overcome, is brilliantly told within these pages. 'The Curtain Rises' is more than a book for stagestruck youngsters, for those who see theater performances or participate in school productions. It is a story for all youngsters and adults alike who enjoy an exciting, adventurous tale.
