The histories of African and Asian theatre have been integrated with the coverage of Western theatre. Chapters have been trimmed to make them easier to cover in survey courses but have also been revised to provide up-to-date and accurate information that is the hallmarkof History of the Theatre. Like the larger text, this paperback edition is extensively illustrated.
