A unique book of criticism that brings both theatre and film studies within a single theoretical framework
Martin Esslin was the author of such ground-breaking classics as The Theatre of the Absurd and Brecht: A Choice of Evils, as well as The Field of Drama in which he focused on the semiology of drama.
