This original and useful contribution to knowledge about the theatre
focuses on the playgoer. Samuel Selden shows how artists in the
playhouse serve the playgoer as creators and guides while they
participate in the double game of theatre. He shows how theatre at its
best excites, illumines, and fulfills its spectators in a spirit of
play, and demonstrates how the skilled theatre artist creates this kind
of stimulating experience in the playhouse.
