Know about the book -

How Theatre Means is written by Ric Knowles and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 113744228X (ISBN 10) and 9781137442284 (ISBN 13).

In this wide-ranging study, Ric Knowles demonstrates how the examination and practice of theatre is enhanced by an expanded semiotic approach. Moving from the history and theory of performance analysis to its practical application and paying particular attention to cross-cultural applications, he examines not what a particular piece of theatre means, but how meaning is produced in the process of creating, viewing and analysing theatre. How Theatre Means presents contemporary case studies and explores intersections between a wide range of theories and methods. Clear and accessible, this book brings a key analytical methodology to life for students, practitioners and scholars.
