This volume is the first concise introduction to the splendid
variety of the Chinese theatrical tradition. It presents a rounded
perspective on the development of Chinese theater by considering
all of its major aspects--history and social context, performance,
costume, makeup, actors, playwrights, and theaters--and by
discussing all the major forms of Chinese theater, including the
Beijing opera, which arose in the eighteenth century, and the
spoken play, an entirely twentieth-century form. Its contributors
are uniquely qualified to write about the Chinese theater. They
have enjoyed an intimate relationship with their subject, both as
academics and as theater workers, and they have combined a deep
knowledge of Chinese theater with a high regard for its long
tradition and continuing vitality. The book is intended for general
as well as more specialized readers. Those with an interest in
theater as a worldwide phenomenon and those wanting a new light on
Chinese culture and society will find it equally useful. To those
with a particular interest in Chinese theater, it will be a rich
and important resource.
