About this book
One type of analysis cannot fit every play, nor does one method of interpretation suit every theatre artist or collaborative team. This is the first text to combine traditional and non-traditional models, giving students a range of tools with which to approach different kinds of performance.

Remember
that
the
chronological
order
of

does
not
automatically
signal
a

look
to
the
connective

between
scenes.
Does
one
scene
literally
trigger
the
next,
in
a
causal
relationship?
For
example
in
Machinal,
each
scene
depicts
a
young
woman’s
journey
through
life,
examining
crit-
ical
crossroads:
her
career,
her
life
at
home,
her
marriage,
her
motherhood,
her
affair,
her
trial,
and
her
execution.
The
progres-
sion
of
scenes
is
chronological,
but
time
is
ill-defined,
seemingly
spanning
several
years.
One
scene
does
not
necessarily
trigger
the
next
in
a
tight
cause-to-effect
link,
rather
the
connective
tissue
that
holds
the
plot
together
is
the
theme
or
idea:
