Plays, Acting and Music: A Book of Theory
Published in the early 20th century, 'Plays, Acting and Music: A Book of Theory' by Arthur Symons explores the interrelation between drama, performance, and music. The work establishes an aesthetic theory that emphasizes the significance of performance in interpreting dramatic works and the philosophical reflections tied to artistic expressions. Symons discusses the evolution of his thoughts on the arts, focusing on the unifying principles of beauty and emotional resonance in theatrical performances, including references to marionette shows and iconic figures like Sarah Bernhardt.
