What reading level is The Joy of the Theatre book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For the artist of the theatre the essential is that he should trust his audi- ence, as Shakespeare trusted his, and as smaller writers for the stage do not trust theirs. It is only in such trust that drama in all its degrees and forms, from tragedy down to farce and burlesque, can be created; without it there can be nothing but the ingenious manipulation of tricks and common-form situations and characters, eked out with resplendent trim- mings, as in one school in the modern theatre, or, as in ...another, with exposition of irrelevant ideas or criticisms of the accidental and pass- ing phenomena of existence. In either case i8 there must be in the audience so dealt with a sense of disproportion, for the machinery of the theatre, the vitality and mental energy in an audience, are much too great to be used for anything save the purposes of drama, which is the creation of another life beyond life and yet of it, informing it, casting back a radiance upon it and revealing, if not its purpose, at least its force and intensity.
