Theatre and its practitioners have never rejected the use of new technology. From the 'mechane orgerano' of ancient Greece to 'Strand 500 Series consoles' used in the 'Witches of Eastwick', and everything in between. The Internet is just another step on the dramatic way to share information, ideas and learning. This book is a simple introduction to the 'World Wide Web' with suggested sites for teacher's to visit and use until they feel at ease with the process. One hundred and eleven sites, (111- the sound technician's mantra) covering the following areas are included:

• Acting Actors
• Commercial Theatres
• Costume/Make-Up Creative Drama
• Drama Training
• Educational Drama
• Living Writers Odds and Ends
• Shakespeare
• Other Dead Writers
• Sound/Lighting
• Staging Design
• Subsidised Theatre
• Theatre History

Each site listed has a brief summary of its raison d'etre plus the content, links and the recommended best bits. The book is accompanied by a floppy disk which contains the addresses, formed as 'hyperlinks' so you can just click on the link and your web browser will take you straight to the site.
