The Jumbo Book of Drama

The Jumbo Book of Drama by Deborah Dunleavy, illus. by Jane Kurisu, covers a number of dramatic techniques and methods, including mime (and the requisite application of white-face), mask making and culturally based dramatic forms (such as Japanese Noh or Italian commedia dell'arte), as well as puppetry and more familiar stage theater. The invitingly designed volume also presents numerous sample monologues and scripts, plus acting exercises and set design suggestions.
