About the Authors
  • This is the first comprehensive history of Russian theater in English since the fall of Communism. Written by an international team of experts, the book brings together the fruits of recent research into all areas of Russian theater history. Of particular interest will be the chapters written by senior Russian academics. The History covers the whole range of Russian dramatic experience, from puppet theater to ballet and grand opera. A key feature of the History is the collection of rare photographs, some published for the first time, chronicling the development of Russian theater.

    Reviews & endorsements

    "This collaboratively written work will be valued for its broadly based approach and its encyclopedic information...It has no competitor." Slavic and East European Journal

    "A gift to be embraced by English-speaking historians. If this material is not already part of our general theatre history courses, it needs to be incorporated; and if we already give Russian/Soviet theatre the attention it desrves, then these books will revitalize and enhance our understanding." Theatre Survey

    "The book offers the general reader an intelligent survey of the subject...useful introduction." Slavic Review Winter 2001
