The Theater Experience Tenth Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this book for an intro to Theater class that requires the 11th edition. I figured I'd give saving some money a shot, then went through the chapters and compared the chapter titles with the chapter titles in the syllabus after classes started. Wouldn't you know it, they ended up being the same chapters with occasional renaming, but back one. For example, chapter four in the eleventh edition is the same as chapter three in this one. (Chapter 5, aka chapter 4 in the 10th edition, has a different title: "Stage Spaces" became "Theater Spaces.") Otherwise, from what I can tell, they're practically similar.
How did this happen, you ask? The introductory chapter in the tenth edition doesn't have a chapter number, and in the eleventh edition, it got one.

Fusing a variety of influences (Aristotle, Stanislavsky, Kenneth Burke, and structuralism), this new text takes students through progressively complex levels of play reading in which they: respond to a first reading; gather information from the play (including given circumstances); interpret the characters and relate them to the conflict; and synthesize perceptions that have been revealed through analysis. Its central principle is that conflict is the essence of drama: the book lays out a systematic process for analyzing plays, relating each element to the conflict explored in each play.
