Description
Mise en Scene is a book in two parts. The first half is a probing look at French theatre now, providing an historical and critical survey of drama and theatre in France since 1968. It explores plays both classical and contemporary, and investigates the polemics, politics and passions which have inspired French theatre artists through the ages and the theatre companies and institutions which have given shape to French theatre today.
The second part of Mise en Scene features a comprehensive listings guide to major theatre companies, institutions, festivals, training schools and invaluable A-Z profiles of contemporary playwrights and directors whose work gives French theatre its unique international flavour.
