From puppets to living players and musical speech to colloquial prose, Asian theatre is a rich world of contrasting expressions. While it has thrived for centuries and embodies the folk traditions of the Asian people, it also reflects contemporary concerns and innovative theatrical practices. At a time when Asia is of tremendous importance in the world, its theatre is a key to understanding its culture as well as the heritage of Asian people in the West. This book is a detailed and authoritative survey of traditional and contemporary Asian theatre. The "Encyclopedia" includes hundreds of alphabetically arranged entries written by more than 90 expert contributors. Entries cover individuals, regional theatres, dramatic forms and genres, and a wide range of special topics, including: Actors and Acting; Censorship; Costumes; Directors and Directing; Experimental Theatre; Folk Theatre; Music and Musical Instruments; Politics and Theatre; Puppet Theatre; Religion in Theatre; Women in Asian Theatre; and many more. Entries on the most important topics cite works for further reading, and the "Encyclopedia" closes with an extensive bibliography. Social studies students will appreciate its glimpses of Asian culture, while literature and drama students will value its exploration of the Asian theatrical tradition.
