Inhaltsangabe

"Mask and Scene" is an introduction to theatre history for students approaching the subject for the first time. Each theatrical convention is examined in an attempt to reveal how the illusion of theatre has been created by occasion, stage, space, mask and costume, speech, play movement and gesture, scenery and music. Examples range from lavish spectacles to the simplest presentations and text and illustrations combine to introduce the possibilites of theatre. Diana Devlin has also written "A Speaking Part, Lewis Casson and the Theatre of His Time" and has recently been administrator of the International Shakespear Globe Centre, a project to reconstruct Shakespeare's theatre near its original site.
