It covers all main theatrical genres - drama, opera and dance - providing a comparative and integrated perspective; emphasizes questions of methodology, research techniques, and approaches; is relevant for a wide variety of theatre studies courses; and includes informative textboxes on key topics, and suggestions for further reading at the end of each chapter."--Jacket
