Written by an international team of experts, this book brings
together the fruits of recent research into all areas of Russian
theatre history. Of particular interest are the chapters written by
senior Russian academics, who not only reveal previously
unpublished documentation but also offer alternative insights into
their subjects. The History covers the whole range of Russian
dramatic experience, from puppet theatre to ballet and grand opera,
but its emphasis is on the practice of theatre, especially acting,
and the final chapter puts Russian theatre into the wider context
of Western performance and the stage. The History begins with the
earliest endeavours, with rituals and entertainments, and moves
through to the emergence of established drama in the eighteenth
century. The history of twentieth-century Russian theatre is a
special feature of the volume, with chapters following the progress
of drama and performance from the revolution, through communism, up
until recent years.
