Modern plays are strikingly diverse and, as a result, any
attempt to locate an underlying unity between them encounters
difficulties: to focus on what they have in common is often to
overlook what is of primary importance in particular plays; to
focus on their differences is to note the novelty of the plays
without increasing their accessibility. In this study, first
published in 1985, Austin E. Quigley takes as his paradigm case the
relationship between the world of the stage and the world of the
audience, and explores various modes of communication between
domains. He asks how changes in the structure of the drama relate
to changes in the structure of the theatre, and changes in the role
of the audience. Detailed interpretations of plays by Pinero,
Ibsen, Strindberg, Brecht, Ionesco, Beckett and Pinter question
principles about the modern theatre and establish links between
drama structure and theatre structure, theme, and performance
space.
