What reading level is Studies in Stagecraft book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This fact was proved recently by the deep impression made upon artistic minds by the production of The Yellow Jacket, — a play that easily conveyed its delicious blend of poetry and humor by the uncustomary and naive conventions of the Chinese stage. If Rosedale seems unsatisfactory to-day, it is not because of its soliloquies and its asides, its alternation of front and back scenes, its symmetrical balancing of character against character and mood against mood, or its dialogue of labored and a...rtificial prose. These were merely technical conventions in Lester Wallack's day; and a reasonable mind will always accept any convention of expression for the sake of receiving the thought to be ex- pressed. The play seems silly to us now for a deeper and a more important reason. It is silly THE PLAYS OF YESTERYEAR 201 because it consciously and deliberately tells lies about life.
And here we set our finger on the difference between the best plays of fifty years ago and the best efforts of our drama of to-day.
