The reality of a play is in its performance. Making Theatre focuses on the processes by which performance is realized, analyzing three major areas: 'Words' and the interpretation of text; 'Vision' including scenery, costume and lighting; and 'Music' which illustrates the importance of music in all stage action.

The forms of theatre covered include straight drama, the musical and opera. Taking productions well-known on both sides of the Atlantic, Peter Mudford examines plays by Shakespeare, Chekhov, Pirandello, Beckett, Pinter, Tennessee Williams, Arthur Miller and David Mamet; musicals by Rodgers and Hammerstein, Cole Porter and Stephen Sondheim; and operas by Verdi, Wagner and Berg.
