Metatheatrical Dramaturgies of Violence: Staging the Role of Theatre

Autor Emma Willis
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 9 noi 2021
This book examines a series of contemporary plays where writers put theatre itself on stage. The texts examined variously dramatize how theatre falls short in response to the demands of violence, expose its implication in structures of violence—including racism and gender-based violence—and illustrate how it might effectively resist violence through reconfiguring representation. Case studies, which include Jackie Sibblies Drury’s We Are Proud to Present and Fairview, Ella Hickson’s The Writer and Tim Crouch’s The Author, provide a range of practice-based perspectives on the question of whether theatre is capable of accounting for and expressing the complexities of structural and interpersonal violence as both lived in the body and borne out in society. The book will appeal to scholars and artists working in the areas of violence, theatre and ethics, witnessing, memory and trauma, spectatorship and contemporary dramaturgy, as well as to those interested inboth the doubts and dreams we have about the role of theatre in the twenty-first century.

Textul de pe ultima copertă



"This is a rich, deeply considered, and useful investigation that not only examines theatrical representations of violence but theatre’s own implication in the objectifying nature of violence. Its insights will be of use to scholars, students, and practitioners".
Dr Suzanne Little, University of Otago, New Zealand
