"Continental Stagecraft" by Kenneth Macgowan is a treatise on theatrical techniques and observations, written in the early 20th century. The work documents the author's experiences and insights gained from extensive travels through the theaters of continental Europe, focusing primarily on France, Germany, and Austria. It delves into the evolution of stagecraft, the impact of realism and expressionism on theater, and the principles that govern modern theatrical productions. The opening of "Continental Stagecraft" sets the stage for an exploration of the dynamic landscape of European theater in the 1920s. After a brief preface, the author introduces his journey through various theaters, emphasizing how the trip across several countries provided a wealth of knowledge and inspiration. As he confronts the tension between realism and expressionism, Macgowan opens a dialogue about how contemporary theater can transcend traditional representational techniques. He hints at the significance of outer reality versus inner truth, presenting a nuanced view of the direction theater is taking and the need for a new theatrical language that resonates beyond mere realism.
