Staging Modern Playwrights

Himself both a scholar (U. of Florida) and a commercial actor and director, Homan shares what he has learned with colleagues in both fields, on how a director proceeds from figuring out what on earth the playwright had in mind, to accounting for different audiences for a performance. He cites specific plays and performances to illustrate the principles. Distributed in the US by Associated University Presses. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
