Despite constant hindrance from government interference and
control, the Russian theater has produced many memorable
playwrights, schools of thought, and plays, whose influence can be
seen throughout the world. Nikolai Gogol's The Inspector, Maksim
Gor'kii's The Lower Depths, and Anton Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard
remain staples of repertories in every language. The ideas of
Konstantin Stanislavskii, Vsevolod Meierkhol'd, and Mikhail Chekhov
continue to inspire actors and directors, and designers still draw
on the graphics of the World of Art group and the Constructivists.
The A to Z of Russian Theater is the only reference work in English
devoted exclusively to Russian theater and drama. It provides
information on the popular plays and playwrights while also
offering information on many persons, works, and phenomena omitted
from standard encyclopedias. Through the use of a chronology, an
introductory essay, a bibliography, an appendix, and hundreds of
cross-referenced dictionary entries on directors, stage designers,
actors, plays, playwrights, concepts, theater buildings, and
troupes, this reference provides an unrivaled account of Russian
theater.
