Summary: Paul Sills' Story Theater: Four Shows
Comment: Paul Sills' Story Theater: Four Shows is an invaluable new collection of plays adapted from classics of world literature (Rumi, Dickens, Rilke and traditional stories from the Brothers Grimm and others). Sills is the legendary creator of Story Theater, as well as the founding director of the Compass, Second City and the Game Theater. Story theater is a way of performing literature on stage without the use of a narrator. Story Theater's lively use of the transformational space work found in Sills' mother Viola Spolin's landmark book Improvisation for the Theater, is ideal for bringing great books to life on stage while remaining true to the words of the author. This book also includes a list of Theater Games for Story Theater by Viola Spolin. Highly recommended for professional or amateur theater companies as well as school and university drama departments. All four of these plays have a lot of roles for both men and women, which is another reason it is an especially useful text for the drama teacher. At the beginning of each play Sills writes a short history of the production, making this book a fascinating document of how this form of theater came into being.
