With a broader range of entries than any other reference book on stage directors, this Encyclopaedia showcases the extraordinary diversity of theatre as a national and international artistic medium. It covers both individual directors and a range of directorial modes and styles across different global traditions in contemporary theatre.
With a broader range of entries than any other reference book on stage directors, this Encyclopaedia showcases the extraordinary diversity of theatre as a national and international artistic medium. Since the mid nineteenth century, stage directors have been simultaneously acclaimed as prime artists of the theatre and vilified as impediments to effective performance. Their role may be contentious but they continue to exert powerful influence over how contemporary theatre is made and engaged with. Each of the entries numbering over 1,000 summarises a stage director''s career and comments on the distinctive characteristics of their work, alluding to broader traditions where relevant. With an introduction discussing the evolution of the director''s role across the globe and bibliographic references guiding further reading, this volume will be an invaluable reference work for stage directors, actors, designers, choreographers, researchers, and students of theatre seeking to better understand how directors work across different cultural traditions.
