Plays are, of course, meant to be seen, not read, but many people
find it impossible to visit the theatre regularly and it is for
them that Professor Styan intends this book, originally published
in 1965, to promote better understanding of the dramatist's
intentions and fuller enjoyment of the play. He defines what a play
is and discusses such topics as the development of the theatre -
its different stages, kinds of drama and types of character - the
tone and tempo in which the play is written, the roles of actor and
audience and the structure and interplay of plot and subplot.
Charts of theatrical history, a glossary and reading lists, as well
as drawings and diagrams by David Gentleman, provide further help
for the reader.
