The Language of Theatre

By: Martin Harrison

Theatre has provided many words and meanings which we use -- ignorant of their origins -- in everyday writing and speech. This delightful compendium explores 2,000 theatre terms in depth, in some cases tracing their history over two and a half millennia, in others exploring expressions less than a decade old. Terms are defined, shown in use, and cross-referenced in ways which will fascinate theatre-goers, and encourage those actively engaged in the theatre to examine the familiar from new angles.
