Peformance Theory - what is great and what is not in the electronic editionBy Guilherme Mendonccedil;aThis is a great book and one that is indispensible for the theatre academic or practitioner. I had it in paper and I decided to buy it kindle format for convenience. There is one problem that I found in some of the kindle books: graphics are not well scanned - small fonts in the graphics are not readable.1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Schechners Performance TheoryBy Lynne RoffSchechners "Performance Theory" is a well-considered piece of research and commentary on the deep importance and function of theater in human life. For me this is valuable background reading for my current research and much appreciated.11 of 15 people found the following review helpful. A Classic workBy William O. BeemanSchechners Performance Theory marks a watershed in the study of performance. It should be on the bookshelf of anyone concerned with theater; anthropology; or ritual.
