Sample text
10 Print also came to govern the rhetoric of theatrical performance, the sense that performance derives from the order of print. The iterative nature of print changed the understanding of theatre and its relationship to dramatic writing, giving rise to a sense of theatre as a form of printlike reiteration, and so to a distinctive sense of theatrical (in)fidelity, the notion that theatrical performance is a replaying of an artistic identity held elsewhere, within the printed text of the play. And yet, while print has changed the landscape of performance for ever, installing plays as fixed printed objects to be reiterated in another medium (performance), the first impact of print in the theatre was on a culture that used writing in a specific process of oral transmission, and printed drama remains embedded in a range of oral practices today.
