The World Encyclopedia of Contemporary Theatre: The Americas v.2: The Americas Vol 2 Book

The second volume of The World encyclopedia of Contemporary Theatre covers the Americas, from Canada to Argentina, including the United States. Entries on 26 countries are preceded by specialist introductions on Theatre in Post-Colonial Latin America, The Theatres of North America, Puppet Theatre, Theatre for Young Audiences, Music Theatre and Dance Theatre. The essays follow the series format, allowing for cross-referencing across subjects, both within the volume and between volumes. The essay for each country is written by specialists in that country, and the volume has its own team of regional editors who work with the main editorial team headed by Don Rubin and based at the University of York in Canada. The entries cover all aspects of theatre genres, practitioners, writers, critics and styles, with bibliographies, over 200 black & white photographs and a substantial index. This is a unique volume in its own right; in conjunction with the other volumes in this series it forms a reference resource of unparalleled value.
