The book "The Theater of the West. Elements of the History of Dramaturgy, Direction, and the Theatrical Space" by Paolo Bosisio and Elina Daraklitsa aims to fill the existing gaps in the science of theater studies, as well as in the publishing sector of Greece.

The creation of this particular work is based on scientific criteria and a solid methodology, as it records abundant material presented in a readable, understandable, and concise manner.

The authors' interest is focused on the countries that played a decisive role in each historical period. Thus, the emphasis is not placed each time on the same field or area, but rather on the importance of its contribution and its critical presence for shaping the practical and theoretical developments in theater.

The second volume includes the appendix History of Greek Theater from the 17th to the 21st century. A survey written by Elina Daraklitsa, as it was deemed useful for Greek readers.
