The Shakespearean Dramaturg:
A
Theoretical and Practical Guide
ISBN: 978-1403970077
This book marries a theoretical analysis of the issues underlying
the role of the dramaturg with a thorough sense of the material
conditions of theatrical production, from script editing and
rehearsal room interactions to the preparation of program notes and
audience lectures. Central to the project is a notion of authority
defined not by text or author, but by the theatre itself. The result
is a guide for the prospective dramaturg which also provides for the
more general reader a unique case study of the nexus between the
methods and assumptions of literary criticism and those of practical
theatre.
