Overview
Offers the first full-scale and comprehensive argument for why theatre scholars and students should abandon an obsolete Eurocentric version of theatre history in favour of a more global perspective
Moves beyond the conventional nation-based approach to geography in favour of a regional geography of theatre
Outlines a chronology that recognizes the often-connected developments in theatre across Eurasia and around the world
