ABSTRACT
The rise of the playhouse followed, as a rule, the flourishing of dramatic literature since the very beginning of theatre history. From the very early phase of the theatre, which rested solely on the player and the space, to its gradual accretions in architecture, scenography, and modern technologies, the steady influence of the dramatic literature on the stage and the performing area’s subsequent turning indoors have continued hand in hand. Today, technological influence has firmly wedged its foot in, as the theatre’s gravitation towards technologies started inevitably since the receding of the proscenium arch in the 18th century into a box-like frame, and the increasing utilization of stage machinery, electric lighting, the revolving stage, videoclips, and sound recordings systems, run by the computer.
