Features: This book, filled with symphonic resonance, adopts the structural form of a symphony rather than following the narrative thread of the history of dramatic development. The four movements of the symphony outline the essential components that sustain drama as a comprehensive art form―――actors, playwrights, directors, theaters, and audiences. Their respective titles are "Priest," "Poet," "Dramatic Soul," and "Sanctuary." I attempt, in the language of a devout pilgrim, to convey the essence, significance, and spirit of drama through this book, inviting readers to join me in entering the realm of dramatic art and exploring the ancient and solemn dream.
