Theatre and Drama in the Making: Antiquity to the Renaissance
((Applause Books). Theatre and Drama in the Making introdu...)
(Applause Books). Theatre and Drama in the Making introduces readers not only to important primary sources, but to the uses made of them by distinguished theorists, critics, and historians. Unlike other texts, it discusses theatre as a whole, embracing both the art of dramatic writing and the art of performance. Included in this new edition are greatly expanded sections covering "Latin Theatre and Drama" and "The Golden Age of Spain," as well as all the exciting new archaeological information relating to the excavation of the Rose and the Globe. The introduction to each essay has been revised and enlarged so that together they may be read independently as a concise and accurate narrative of theatre history. From Aeschylus to Calderon, from Agatharcus to Serlio, from Thespis to Burbage, from Aristotle to Sidney, here is the story of Western Theatre in all its glorious variety.

Ralph Gilmore Allen
Edit ProfileEducation
Amherst College.
Career
He is credited, along with Harry Rigby with having conceived of the Tony Award-winning musical comedy Sugar Babies, a tribute to the burlesque era. In 1965, Allen was awarded the Guggenheim Fellowship in the category of Humanities. As a teenager, he and his friends went to see burlesque shows.
Foreign his friends, the appeal of the burlesque show was the scantily-clad women, but Allen was more interested in the bawdy humor.
Allen received his bachelor"s degree from Amherst College in 1955 and his Doctor of Fine Arts from the Yale School of Drama in 1960. Allen died at the age of 70 in New York City on September 9, 2004.
In 1965, Allen was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship for Theatre Arts. From 1965 through 1968, Allen served as an editor for the academic journal Theatre Survey.
Allen served as artistic director at the Victoria Fair Theatre from 1968 to 1972.
From 1972 through 1978, Allen was the chairman of the theatre department at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. While at the University of Tennessee, he also served as the artistic director of the Clarence Brown company, a professional theatre company in residence at the university.
