Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The history of theatre has often been written as a history of great writers, actors, or directors. Performance Spaces and Stage Technologies takes a different approach: The contributors examine the history of performance from the perspective of theatre spaces and stage technologies.

Art, literature, religion, law, urbanism, architecture, technology β€” this interdisciplinary book discusses how these fields relate to theatre and performance. Geographically, it covers a significant portion of the globe; chronologically, it ranges from ancient times to the present.

This book provides a timely attempt to combine cultural and global history.
