In this book, the play Southern Quest is examined by its creator in an essay that maps out the relationship between verbal and non-verbal information in contemporary theatrical writing. The ways in which these variables interrelate define the type of affiliation between theatre and drama in any given text. This critical analysis contends that the verbal and the non-verbal represent the two ends of the spectrum of possibilities of any written theatre piece. The predominance of one over the other will determine the extent to which the presence of the dramatist intervenes in the staging of the work. The combination of A Play and its Exegesis is a valuable tool for theatergoers, students and theater practitioners interested in gaining a sharper look into the mechanisms of theatrical creation. |
