Schechner approaches the complicated notion of "performance" by teasing out subcategories, such as theater, ritual, sports, games, and play. Thought-provoking, digestible prose, interesting examples and diagrams, and pictures of chimpanzees. The reader is likely to become more self-conscious of interactions between people. Maybe to the point of obsession.

Proof if ever I need it that we are still in the 19th Century. Or I am.
