A Short History of Western Performance Space

by David Wiles

Book Overview

David Wiles considers theatrical activity happening in churches, streets, pubs and galleries, as well as in buildings explicitly designed to be theaters, in this historical account. Surveying performance space usage within the traditions of Western Europe, Wiles traces a diverse set of continuities, from Greece and Rome to the present, including many areas not included in standard accounts of theater history.
