 The second, and perhaps the more practically pressing of the two more specific questions that must be asked regarding theater, is “What exactly are instances of theater: performances, productions, or illustrations of dramatic literature?” It is commonly assumed by theater or performance theorists that the correct answer is “performances”. But this is both far from clear and under-argued (see Hamilton 2007: 3–16 for a discussion of this point). One way to address this question is to ask a more fundamental question about theater, as Paul Woodruff does (2008): what is it to make something worth watching? Another is to ask, as David Saltz, James Hamilton, Noel Carroll do (2001): what it is that people are interpreting and evaluating when they discuss theatrical performances and what is an interpretation? Yet another is to ask, as David Osipovich does (2006): what is a theatrical performance actually like in the experience of those who present it and those who attend it at the time of the performance itself? And a further is to ask, as W. B. Worthen (2007) and Hamilton (2009a) have: what is the relation between performances/productions and texts—i.e., specifically in relation to works of dramatic literature? Once again, “the rules of engagement”, as Rohrbaugh calls them, are as much disputed as the proposals themselves.
