Like any art, drama has a language of its own -words and expressions used by those who practise the craft. There are words like agitprop, agon, blackout, fresnel and gobo; expressions like “papering the house” and “the ghost who walks”. Even familiar words like apron, dutchman, flies, rake, teaser, and tormentor have evolved special meanings in the theatre. NTC’s Dictionary of Theatre & Drama Terms offers a wealth of interesting features: Dialogue from many plays Descriptions of historical contexts Illustrations of different kinds of stage lights Diagrams of stage positions Cross-references to related terms Intended for both beginners and professional, this dictionary will be read by all who love theatre and who want to know more about what goes on behind the scenes.
