The performance traditions examined so far have been confined primarily to European and American theatre. But theatre varies widely from one culture to another. A small sample of other forms can be seen by looking at some of the the- atrical expressions found in Asia and Africa.

There, Noh theatre was perfected and codified so thoroughly that it is still performed today much as it was over 500 years ago. It came into being in isolation from Western theatre and rep- resents a wholly distinct theatrical tradition.
