Theatre: individual actors & directors; Theatre direction & production

Series: Great Stage Directors

Across the four volumes this set provides a uniquely rich study of the genealogy and development of a practice through focus on individual directors and the wider context and art form in which they worked. For professional practitioners and those developing their skills, as well as those engaged in the analysis of theatre practices, forms and history, it will prove an essential resource.

Each volume provides substantial treatment of three major directors, with each director considered by two specialists, combining analysis of the director's practical craft with accounts of the historical, cultural and theoretical context of their practice. Links between the featured directors and other artists and directors from the period are traced to round out the picture of influences and artistic development.

Volume 5: Richard Schechner, Lee Breuer, Anne Bogart: Company Experiments (edited by Joan Herrington, Western Michigan University, USA)

Volume 6: Meredith Monk, Richard Foreman, Robert Wilson: Landscapes of Perception (edited by Ann Shanahan, Purdue University, USA)

Volume 7: Elizabeth LeCompte, Ping Chong, Robert Lepage: Multi-Media Interrogations (edited by Claudia Orenstein, Hunter College and the Graduate Center, CUNY, USA, and James Peck, Muhlenberg College, USA)

Volume 8: Jesusa Rodriguez, Peter Sellars, Reza Abdoh: Theatre in the Public Sphere (edited by James Peck, Muhlenberg College, USA)

Featuring 64 illustrations, the eight volumes from Sets 1 and 2 of The Great North American Stage Directors series combine to present the most comprehensive and authoritative survey available on North American theatre directors.
