Book Reviews of Playing Period Plays (Pt. 1-4)
Book Review: Helpful facts
Summary: 5 Stars
Playing Period Plays by Lyn Oxenford is extremely helpful for all students of classical theatre. It divides period works into four eras; Medieval and Early Tudor, Elizabethan and Jacobean, Restoration and Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian. Each section gives backgroud on the periods including the social expectations of the period and the customs of the period. It outlines precise ways to execute the bows, curtsies, and dances of each time. The book is very specific. I found it to be a condensed source of information that previously I had found only in multiple sources. It makes the differences in the periods very clear for designers, directors, and teachers who are trying to be historically accurate.
