Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This work presents the history of theatre from ancient Greece and Rome to the present day. It demonstrates the liveliness, vitality and distinctiveness of theatre as it has unfolded through the ages, and emphasizes the constantly changing nature of theatre, as well as the threads that are woven through several eras and countries. It also shows how the heritage of theatre can be found in the productions we see today.
