  Abstract:  When I was in school, the translation of Vitto Pandolfi’s 1964 Storia universale del teatro drammatico was compulsory reading material. The bibliography of theatre history is quite abundant by now, with books such as History of the Theatre by Oscar Brockett and Franklin Hildy, republished from the original 1968, to now at its ninth edition, or the beautifull and very expensive, six volume A Cultural History of Theatre by Christopher Balme and Tracy Davis published in 2017. Mapping Global Theatre Histories by Mark Pizzato is an online and offline text book providing historical and genuinely global knowledge, mapping significant areas of world theatre. The timeline covered stretches form prehistory, explained also through the evolution of the brain, all the way up to postmodern performative events of the early 2000’s, such as domestic anti-governmental terrorism, or Stan Lai’s eight hour long A Dream Like a Dream.
