Can anybody recommend a book on the history of acting?  After reading a
bunch of material on Welles lately I wanted to follow up his references to
older styles and approaches but can't find anything.  All the books in our
library are either how-to, specific topics or acting theory (and not even a
history of acting theories).  Even if this is part of a general history of
theatrical performance that would work but even the closest to that I found
were textbooks that looked pretty tedious.


Thanks, Lang

age of six was a polka, to which he added a
funeral march as an introduction."
