Reading the Material Theatre develops and demonstrates a method of
theatrical performance analysis that takes into account the entire
theatre experience, from production to reception. Beginning with
semiotic and cultural materialist theory, Knowles quickly moves
into detailed politicized analysis of the ways in which specific
aspects of theatrical production, and specific contexts of
reception, shape the audience's understanding of what they
experience in the theatre. It concludes with five case studies of
the cultural work performed by a major Shakespearean repertory
theatre, a small nationalist theatre devoted to new play
development, a major New York-based avant-garde touring theatre
company, a British socialist company dedicated to the work of
Shakespeare, and a range of international festivals. This
accessible 2004 volume provides a first-step introduction to key
terms and areas of performance theory, including reception history,
performance analysis, and production analysis.
