Theatre Double Game

This original and useful contribution to knowledge about the theatre focuses on the playgoer. Samuel Selden shows how artists in the playhouse serve the playgoer as creators and guides while they participate in the double game of theatre. He shows how theatre at its best excites, illumines, and fulfills its spectators in a spirit of play, and demonstrates how the skilled theatre artist creates this kind of stimulating experience in the playhouse.
