First published in 1999, this volume aims to develop the field of
theatre studies by promoting the study of performative elements and
thus fostering their consideration in the critical interpretation
of dramatic literature. The authors additionally suggest ways of
approaching and evaluating the work of individual performers, as
well as of directors, designers and producers. It is an archival
guide which covers manuscript and ephemera, rather than published
texts, and attempts to indicate the potential value of the
documentary material listed. This unique reference guide provides
descriptions and evaluations of archive manuscript materials and
ephemera relating to twentieth-century British and American
theatre. Over 100 archives across Europe, North America and Britain
were examined in the compilation of this volume. The documents
include: unpublished playscripts; state and costume designs;
directors' books; prompt books; lighting plots; stage photos;
correspondence; theatre programmes. One hundred and seventy five
entries are arranged alphabetically and cover playwrights,
directors, designers and actors. By its nature, theatre is a
collaborative enterprise, a facet which is recognised in the
comprehensive cross-referencing of entries. The last twenty years
has seen a shift in drama studies from text-based criticism to
analysis of performance. The materials covered in this book have
therefore become essential to future research in the field.
