Description: "Theatre, as distinct from other dramatic media, is essentially a relationship between performer, spectator, and the space in which both come together.

Space in Performance examines the way theatre buildings function to frame the performance event, the organization of audience and practitioner spaces within the building, the nature of the stage and the modes of representation it facilitates, and the relationship between the real space of the theatre and the fictional places that are evoked."--BOOK JACKET.
