It covers everything from ancient Greek theater and Sanskrit drama to contemporary figures and movements. The guide emphasizes the broad scope of performance, encompassing not only scripted drama but also popular entertainment such as circus, musical theater, and pantomime. It explores diverse forms like male and female impersonation, gay and lesbian theater, Indian festival performances, Japanese puppet theater, and both classic and modern European and North American theater. Additionally, four contextual essays provide insight into the major theater traditions of Asia, Africa, South America, and the Middle East.
