Fortier is the premiere.
Reviewed in the United States on 15 December 2011Verified Purchase
Fortier has so much to offer in the realm of performance that many "practitioners" simply shrug off at this point in history. His writing maintains a level of credence and clarity while never playing down to his audience. He expects readers to come with a certain level of knowledge while never seeping into an air of pretension or aca-babble.

A well put together book
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 September 2008Verified Purchase
As an introduction to theatre theory this book is a pleasure to read, and what's more - it is understandable! So many authors of these type of books write with their head in the clouds, flexing their vocabulary muscles so much that it becomes a bore to read. No so with this. It is a well focused down to earth book that gets to the point. Well recommended.
