Recenzii

“This collection, edited by Anna Harpin and Juliet Foster, works across performance and medicine, with a specific focus on ‘madness’ and psychiatry, and performances of and in the asylum. … This is exciting and important work, capturing a pivotal moment in understanding particular histories of mental illness as it relates to site and performance.” (Gianna Bouchard, Contemporary Theatre Review, Vol. 26 (1), February, 2016)
'This is a rich and textured book that brings together debates about madness and mental illness with contemporary analyses of performance. Historically informed, this ground-breaking edited collection traverses disciplinary boundaries, shedding new light on connections between theatre and madness.' - Helen Nicholson, Professor of Theatre and Performance, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK
'[A] wonderful book' - Femi Oyebode, National Centre for Mental Health
