It is a truly international phenomenon, encompassing works by playwrights such as Ibsen, Chekhov, Shaw, Miller, Beckett, and Churchill, which are vibrant and diverse in both text and performance. This Very Short Introduction explores the major developments of modern drama from 1880 to the present. Ranging from early modernist theatre through post-war developments to more recent and contemporary theatre, Shepherd-Barr tracks the emergence of new theories from the likes of Stanislavsky, Brecht, and Grotowski alongside groundbreaking productions to illuminate the fascinating evolution of modern drama" 7aDramay20th centuryxHistory and criticism.2BUEsh930822 7aDramay21st centuryxHistory and criticism.2BUEsh 7aTheatery20th centuryxHistory and criticism.2BUEsh  2BUEsh  bHHUUEENNcApril2016  2ddccBB  00102ddc40708AlahramaMAINbMAINc2NDd2016-04-18ePurchaseg81.00l0o809.204 SHEp000032362r2025-07-15 00:00:00v101.25w2016-04-18yBB
