I am a high school English teacher, and I teach drama to my freshmen students. But my approach, predicated on my training, is to examine plays as literature more than as productions to be experienced in a theater or on stage. And it just so happens that Reading Drama is about experiencing drama--plays--as literature which is read. It occurs to me that I (and my students) would maybe be better served by reading something that would help me teach drama more from the perspective of a stage production, of which the written script is only a part, but still... I found Scanlan's book informative and useful.
