The Crime of the Twenty-First Century; Olly's Prison; Coffee

Innocence; Window, Tune, Balancing Act; The Edge

Edward Bond

The latest collection of plays by one of Europe's most important playwrights.

Bringing together recent work by the writer of the classic stage plays Saved and Lear, this volume includes Innocence, the final play in The Paris Pentad. This dramatic epic portrays a world of violence, where the characters seek refuge in each other to escape the cruelty of war.

The Crime Of The Twenty-First Century: The past has been abolished and geography - even the sky - is changed. A woman lives in a vast desert of white rubble. A tiny group of people comes seeking a hiding place - and is exposed to the deepest questions of human existence. Olly's Prison: An ordinary city flat. Evening. A man tries to talk to his daughter. She will not answer. Slowly their world turns to tragedy and a search begins that lasts for years. Coffee: A young man alone in a room. A stranger enters. Together they journey into a dark forest...When the men return to the daylight world, they are involved in a trivial incident. It is hardly more than a gesture - yet it is something that once happened and in its triviality captures the history of our century and confronts us with the deepest questions about ourselves. "A great playwright - many, particularly in continental Europe, would say the greatest living English playwright." Independent

Martin Sherman Onassis portrays the last years of the life of the wealthy shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis, who, after a notorious affair with Maria Callas, married Jacqueline Kennedy, widow of US President John F. Kennedy, in 1968. Passing By, first performed in New York in 1975, is both a brave and a charming romantic comedy about a love between two men whose hearts pull them together as their lives pull them apart. 'One of the most radical plays ever written. Quirky, funny, touching, romantic and revolutionary. It overturned my life. Perhaps it will do the same for others.' Simon Callow The Miser is Moliere’s satirical masterpiece about obsession and status endures. Fast, funny and full of energy, this sparkling new version by Martin Sherman is as pertinent today as it was when first written and performed by Moliere in the seventeenth century. Sherman’s adaptation received its world premiere at the Watermill Theatre, Newbury, on 11 April 2013. Martin Sherman’s early plays include Passing By, Cracks and Rio Grande, all originally presented by Playwrights Horizons in New York. Bent premiered at the Royal Court in 1979, transferred to the Criterion Theatre and was then presented on Broadway, where it received a Tony nomination for Best Play and won the Dramatist Guild's Hull-Warriner Award. It has been voted one of the NT2000 One Hundred Plays of the Century. His next plays were Messiah (1983), When She Danced (1988), A Madhouse in Goa (1989), Some Sunny Day (1996) and Rose (1999). Rose received an Olivier nomination for Best Play and transferred to Broadway the following season.

Bertolt Brecht Translated by Wolfgang Sauerlander, Ralph Manheim, Rose Kastner & Martin Kastner Edited by David Barnett This volume contains Brecht’s post-1950 adaptations of world dramatic classics for the Berliner Ensemble. Brecht’s remodeled versions show all of the great dramatist’s characteristic preoccupations: disgust with personal greatness, admiration of the people and hatred of war unless waged on behalf of the people who, to him, were the embodiment of wisdom and good sense. Adaptations included are based on Lenz's The Tutor; Shakespeare's Coriolanus; Molière’s Don Juan; Seghers's The Trial of Joan of Arc and Farquhar's The Recruiting Officer, adapted by Brecht as Trumpets and Drums. A critical introduction and explanatory notes accompany the plays, written by David Barnett, an expert on Brecht and the Berliner Ensemble. Bertolt Brecht (1898-1956) is acknowledged as one of the great dramatists whose plays, work with the Berliner Ensemble and critical writings have had a considerable influence on the theatre. His landmark plays include The Threepenny Opera, Fear and Misery of the Third Reich, The Life of Galileo, Mother Courage and Her Children and The Caucasian Chalk Circle. David Barnett is Reader in Drama, Theatre and Performance at the University of Sussex, UK. He has published books on German theatre (studies on Heiner Müller and Rainer Werner Fassbinder), and has also published several essays and articles on German-, English-language, political and postdramatic theatre.

Edited by Mark Rawlinson First World War Plays draws together canonical and lesser-known plays from World War I to the end of the 20th century, tracing the ways in which dramatists have engaged with and resisted war in their works.

The collection includes writing by combatants, as well as playwrights addressing historical events and national memory, by both men and women, and by writers from Great Britain, Ireland and the United States. Mark Rawlinson is a Reader in English Literature at the University of Leicester, UK. His research has a particular focus on the literature of war.

Enron Lucy Prebble

The Cheviot, The Stag and the Black, Black Oil

Edited by Rachel Clements

John McGrath

Mixing classical tragedy with savage comedy, Enron follows a group of flawed men and women in a narrative of greed and loss which reviews the tumultuous 1990s and casts a new light on the financial turmoil in which the world found itself in 2009. At once a case study and an allegory, the play charts the notorious rise and fall of Enron and its founders Ken Lay and Jeffrey Skilling, who became ‘the most vilified figure from the financial scandal of the century’. This Student Edition features expert and helpful annotation, including a scene-by-scene summary; commentary on the dramatic, social and political context, and on the themes, characters, language and structure of the play, together with a list of suggested reading and questions for further study. Lucy Prebble’s first full-length play, The Sugar Syndrome (Royal Court, 2003), was awarded the George Devine Award and TMA Award for Best New Play in 2004. Alongside her stage play Enron (2009), Prebble also created the TV series Secret Diary of a Call Girl, first broadcast on ITV2 in the UK in 2007 and on Showtime in the United States in 2008. Most recently, Prebble’s 2012 play, The Effect, won Best New Play at the Critics’ Circle Awards. Rachel Clements is a lecturer in Drama, Theatre and Performance at the University of Manchester, UK. Research and teaching interests include contemporary theatre practice and, in particular, British playwriting; dramaturgy; documentary theatre; feminist practice; and the relationships between performance and politics, and performance and philosophy.

New Mermaids General Editors: Brian Gibbons, University of Münster, Germany; William C. Carroll, Boston University, USA and Tiffany Stern, University College, University of Oxford, UK A series of modernized and fully annotated classic plays, edited and updated by experienced teachers who are internationally recognized as authorities in their field. Ideal for, and accessible to, actors, theatre-goers and students, the books are in a clear, easy-to-use format, with annotations below the text and a comprehensive introduction.

Edward II Revised Christopher Marlowe Edited by Stephen Guy-Bray Dramatically compressing the reign of Edward II and enlivening the historical narrative with humour, romance, and horrific violence, Marlowe interrogates how the transgression of accepted codes of behaviour affects even those at the highest level of society. This student edition contains a completely new introduction by Stephen Guy-Bray, and offers students a useful and lively overview of recent criticism, an updated performance history paying greater attention to Derek Jarman's film, a background on the author and themes, as well as an updated bibliography and a fully annotated version of the playtext.

Women on the Early Modern Stage A Woman Killed with Kindness, The Tamer Tamed, The Duchess of Malfi, The Witch of Edmonton Edited by Emma Smith This New Mermaids anthology brings together four plays which centre around female characters on stage: A Woman Killed With Kindness (Thomas Heywood); The Tamer Tamed (John Fletcher); The Duchess of Malfi (John Webster); and The Witch of Edmonton (William Rowley, Thomas Dekker and John Ford), and has a new introduction by leading scholar Emma Smith. These four early modern plays upset old certainties about gender ideology: less ‘chaste, silent and obedient’ and more diverse, eloquent and complex.

Macbeth Third Series William Shakespeare Edited by Pamela Mason & Sandra Clark

The Two Noble Kinsmen, Revised Edition

Third Series

William Shakespeare

Edited by Claire McEachern

Edited by Lois Potter

Macbeth is one of Shakespeare's most performed and studied tragedies. This major new Arden edition offers students detailed on-page commentary notes highlighting meaning and theatrical ideas and themes, as well as an illustrated, lengthy introduction setting the play in its historical, theatrical and critical context and outlining the recent debates about Middleton's possible co-authorship of some scenes.

Much Ado About Nothing presents a battle of the sexes in more ways than one: as both a lightning-fast skirmish of wits between two famously disputatious lovers, and a near-deadly conflict built on conventions of gender and male rivalry.

A comprehensive and informative edition ideal for students and teachers seeking to explore the play in depth, whether in the classroom or on the stage.

Claire McEachern's new introduction brings this bestseller right up to date, analysing recent developments in criticism and the latest productions of this comedy.

Pamela Mason has worked with the drama classes at Wroxton Theatre Arts School, Cardiff, UK since 1986, and for much of that time was also a lecturer in English and Fellow of the Shakespeare Institute, University of Birmingham, UK. She works extensively in Stratford, contributing to postgraduate courses, and she has initiated a postgraduate diploma in Shakespeare studies.

Claire McEachern is Professor of English at UCLA, USA.

Sandra Clark is Professor and Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of English Studies, School of Advanced Study, University of London, UK.

This tragi-comedy is one of the plays we know Shakespeare worked with a collaborator on – John Fletcher – and is based on Chaucer's Knight's Tale. This revised edition includes a new introductory essay bringing the edition up-to-date in terms of both the play's performance and critical history, and in particular with current thinking about the nature of Shakespeare's collaboration with other playwrights. As scholars have begun to discover more about this aspect of his career, interest in the play has grown. This revised edition is ideal for undergraduate study, offering on-page annotations to the play text as well as a lengthy, illustrated introduction. Lois Potter is Ned B.

T he A rden S hakespeare

studying S hakespeare Arden Student Skills: Language and Writing Series Editor: Dympna Callaghan, Syracuse University, USA This series offers a new type of study aid, which combines lively critical insight with practical guidance on the critical writing skills you need to develop in order to engage fully with Shakespeare’s texts. Each edition includes an introduction, considering when and how the play was written; a detailed examination and analysis of the individual text; discussion of performance history and critical reception of the work and a ‘Writing Matters’ section in every chapter that clearly links the analysis of Shakespeare’s language to student’s own writing strategies in coursework and examinations.

A Midsummer Night's Dream: Language and Writing

Hamlet: Language and Writing

Heidi Brayman Hackel

This lively and informative guide reveals Hamlet as marking a turning point in Shakespeare's use of language and dramatic form as well as addressing the key problem at the play's core: Hamlet's inaction. It also looks at recent critical approaches to the play and its theatre history, including the recent David Tennant / RSC Hamlet on both stage and TV screen.

The Language and Writing series offers a new type of study aid which combines lively critical insight with practical guidance on the critical and writing skills students need to develop in order to engage fully with Shakespeare's texts. The books' core focus is on language: both understanding and enjoying Shakespeare's rich and complex dramatic lanaguage, and the student's own critical language and how she can improve and develop this to become a critical writer. This lively and informative guide reveals A Midsummer Night's Dream as a play rich in all types of language – figurative, gestural, gendered and idiomatic – and a play in which language is misused, and an ideal play from which to explore Shakespeare's imaginative and creative use of language as dramatic and poetic text. Heidi Brayman Hackel is Associate Professor of English at University of California, Riverside, USA where she specializes in Renaissance literature and culture.

Shakespeare and Theory Series Editor: Evelyn Gajowski, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, USA This series provides a comprehensive analysis of the theoretical developments that have dominated Shakespeare studies since the advent of postmodernism, as well as those that are emerging at the present moment. Each volume provides a clear definition of a particular theory; explains its key concepts; surveys its major theorists and critics; situates it in the context of contemporary political, social, and economic developments; analyses its significance in Shakespeare studies; and offers a wealth of suggested resources for further investigation.

Shakespeare and Economic Theory

Shakespeare and Psychoanalytic Theory

David Hawkes

Carolyn E. Brown

Over the last 20 years, the concept of 'economic' activity has come to seem inseparable from psychological, semiotic and ideological experiences. In fact, the notion of the 'economy' as a discrete area of life seems increasingly implausible. This returns us to the situation of Shakespeare's England, where the financial had yet to be differentiated from other forms of representation. This book shows how concepts and concerns that were until recently considered purely economic affected the entire range of 16th- and 17th-century life. Using the work of such critics as Jean-Christophe Agnew, Douglas Bruster, Hugh Grady and many others, Shakespeare and Economic Theory traces economic literary criticism to its cultural and historical roots, discusses its main practitioners, and shows how it can reveal previously unappreciated qualities of Shakespeare’s work. David Hawkes is Professor in the Deparment of English at the Arizona State University, USA.

Although psychoanalytic criticism of Shakespeare is a prominent and prolific field of scholarship, the analytic methods and tools, theories, and critics who apply the theories have not been adequately assessed. This book fills that gap. It surveys the psychoanalytic theorists who have had the most impact on studies of Shakespeare, clearly explaining the fundamental developments and concepts of their theories, providing concise definitions of key terminology, describing the inception and evolution of different schools of psychoanalysis, and discussing the relationship of psychoanalytic theory (especially in Shakespeare) to other critical theories. It chronologically surveys the major critics who have applied psychoanalysis to their readings of Shakespeare, clarifying the theories they are enlisting; charting the inception, evolution, and interaction of their approaches; and highlighting new meanings that have resulted from such readings. It assesses the applicability of psychoanalytic theory to Shakespeare studies and the significance and value of the resulting readings. Carolyn E. Brown is Associate Professor of English at the University of San Francisco, USA.

The dictionaries provide readers with a comprehensive guide to the topic under discussion, especially its contemporary meanings, and to its occurrence and significance in Shakespeare’s works.

Shakespeare's Books A Dictionary of Shakespeare Sources

Shakespeare's Political and Economic Language

Stuart Gillespie

Vivian Thomas

Shakespeare’s Books contains nearly 200 entries covering the full range of literature Shakespeare was acquainted with, including classical, historical, religious and contemporary works. The dictionary covers works whose importance to Shakespeare has emerged more clearly in recent years due to new research, as well as explaining current thinking on long-recognized sources such as Plutarch, Ovid, Holinshed, Ariosto and Montaigne. Entries for all major sources include surveys of the writer's place in Shakespeare's time, detailed discussion of their relation to his work, and full bibliography. These are enhanced by sample passages from early modern England writers, together with reproductions of pages from the original texts. Now available in paperback with a new Preface bringing the book up-to-date, this is an invaluable reference tool.

Shakespeare's plays are pervaded by political and economic words and concepts, not only in the histories and tragedies but also in the comedies and romances. The lexicon of political and economic language in Shakespeare does not consist merely of arcane terms whose shifting meanings require exposition, but includes an enormous number of relatively simple words which possess a structural significance in the configuration of meanings. Often operating by such means as puns, they open up a surprising number of possibilities. The dictionary reveals the conceptual nucleus of each term and explores the contexts in which it is embedded. The overlap between the political and economic dimensions of a word in Shakespeare's drama is particularly exciting as he is highly attuned to the interactions of these two spheres of human activity and their centrality in human affairs.

Shakespeare's Religious Language

Shakespeare and Religion

A Dictionary

Alison Shell

R. Chris Hassel Jr. Religious issues and discourse are key to an understanding of Shakespeare's plays and poems. This dictionary discusses over 1000 words and names in Shakespeare's works that have a religious connotation. Its unique word-by-word approach allows equal consideration of the full nuance of each of these words, from 'abbess' to 'zeal'. It also gradually reveals the persistence, the variety, and the sophistication of Shakespeare's religious usage. Frequent attention is given to the prominence of Reformation controversy in these words, and to Shakespeare's often ingenious and playful metaphoric usage of them. Theological commonplaces assume a major place in the dictionary, as do overt references to biblical figures, biblical stories and biblical place-names; biblical allusions; church figures and saints. R. Chris Hassel Jr. is Emeritus Professor at Vanderbilt University, USA.

This book sets Shakespeare in the religious context of his times, presenting a balanced, up-to-date account of current biographical and critical debates, and addressing the fascinating, under-studied topic of how Shakespeare's writing was perceived by literary contemporaries, whose priorities were more obviously religious than his own. It advances new readings of several plays, including Hamlet, King Lear and The Winter's Tale, and draws on under-exploited contemporary analogues, ranging from conversion narratives, books of devotion and polemical pamphlets to manuscript drama and emblems. This study describes a writer whose language is saturated in religious discourse but whose invariable practice is to subordinate religious matter to the aesthetic demands of the work. For Shakespeare, as for few of his contemporaries, the Judaeo-Christian story is something less than a master narrative.

Shakespeare in London offers a lively and engaging new reading of some of Shakespeare's major work, informed by close attention to the language of his drama.

Taking readers on an imaginative journey through the city, the book moves both chronologically, from beginning to end of Shakespeare's dramatic career, and also geographically, traversing London from west to east. Each chapter focuses on one play and one key location, drawing out the thematic connections between that place and the drama it underwrites.

Close textual readings accompany the wealth of contextual material, providing a fresh and exciting way into Shakespeare's work.

Edited by Paul Prescott & Erin Sullivan Long identified as Britain's 'national poet', Shakespeare’s role in the 2012 London Cultural Olympiad confirmed his expanded status as a modern global icon. From his prominent positioning in the Olympic Games' Opening Ceremony, Closing Ceremony and Paralympic Opening Ceremony, to his major presence in the cultural programme surrounding the Games (including the Royal Shakespeare Company's World Shakespeare Festival, Shakespeare's Globe Theatre's 'Globe to Globe' Festival and the BBC's Shakespeare Unlocked Season), Shakespeare played a significant role in the way the UK presented itself to its own citizens and to the world. This collection examines the cultural forces at play in the construction, use and reception of Shakespeare during the 2012 'Olympic Moment', exploring what his presence says about culture, politics and identity in twenty-first-century British and global life.

Transforming the Teaching of Shakespeare with the Royal Shakespeare Company

Shakespeare's Theatres and the Effects of Performance Edited by Farrah Karim-Cooper & Tiffany Stern How did Elizabethan and Jacobean acting companies create their visual and aural effects? What materials were available to them and how did they influence staging and writing? What impact did the sensations of theatre have on early modern audiences? How did the construction of the playhouses contribute to technological innovations in the theatre? What effect might these innovations have had on the writing of plays? Shakespeare's Theatres and The Effects of Performance is a landmark collection of essays by leading international scholars addressing these and other questions to create a unique and comprehensive overview of the practicalities and realities of the theatre in the early modern period. Farah Karim-Cooper is Head of Research at Shakespeare's Globe, London, UK and the author of several critical studies focussing on performance. Tiffany Stern is Beaverbrook and Bouverie Fellow and Tutor in English, University College, Oxford, UK. She is a General Editor of the New Mermaids series and the author of several critical studies.

Edited by Joe Winston In 2006 the Royal Shakespeare Company began its mission to transform the teaching of Shakespeare in schools. This book tells the story of this exciting project – describing the innovative classroom practice that the RSC has pioneered and explaining what impact this has had on children's experience of Shakespeare in primary and secondary schools. Authoritative but accessible, it is relevant to anyone with an interest in the teaching of Shakespeare, and in how a major cultural organisation can affect the education of young people from a wide range of social backgrounds. It also benefits from interviews from internationally influential figures, notably Jonathan Bate, Michael Boyd, Catherine Mallyo and Jacqui O' Hanlon.

T heatre S tudies Replay: Classic Modern Drama Reimagined Toby Zinman Replay: Classic Modern Drama Reimagined spans over a century of great theatre to explore how iconic plays have been adapted and versioned by later writers to reflect or dissect the contemporary zeitgeist. Starting with A Doll’s House, Ibsen’s much-reprised masterpiece of marital relations from 1879, Toby Zinman explores what made the play so controversial and shocking in its day before tracing how later reimaginings have reworked Ibsen’s original. The spine of plays then includes such landmark works as Strindberg’s Miss Julie, Oscar Wilde’s comic The Importance of Being Earnest, Chekhov’s Three Sisters and Uncle Vanya, Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun, the Rattigan centenary revivals, Thornton Wilder’s Our Town, ultimately arriving at Beckett’s Waiting for Godot. Taking each modern play as the starting point, Zinman explores the diverse renderings and reworkings by subsequent playwrights and artists –including prominent directors and their controversial productions as well as acknowledging reworkings in film, opera and ballet.Through the course of this groundbreaking study we discover not only how theatrical styles have changed but how society’s attitude towards politics, religion, money, gender, sexuality and race have radically altered over the course of the century.

The Theatre of the Absurd

Theatre and Adaptation

Martin Esslin

Return, Rewrite, Repeat

The ‘Theatre of the Absurd’ has become a familiar term to describe a group of radical European playwrights – writers such as Samuel Beckett, Eugène Ionesco, Jean Genet and Harold Pinter – whose dark, funny and humane dramas wrestled profoundly with the meaningless absurdity of the human condition. It is a testament to the power and insight of Martin Esslin’s landmark work, originally published in 1961, that its title should enter the English language in the way that it has. Now available in the Bloomsbury Revelations series with a new preface by Marvin Carlson, The Theatre of the Absurd remains to this day a clear-eyed work of criticism on a compelling period of European writing. Martin Esslin OBE (1918-2002) was a prolific dramatist, producer and translator, as well as being one of the most perceptive theatre critics of the 20th century.

Edited by Margherita Laera Contemporary theatrical productions as diverse in form as experimental performance, new writing, West End drama, musicals and live art demonstrate a recurring fascination with adapting existing works by other artists, writers, filmmakers and stage practitioners. Featuring seventeen interviews with internationally-renowned theatre and performance artists, Theatre and Adaptation provides an exceptionally rich study of the variety of work developed in recent years. First-hand accounts illuminate a diverse range of approaches to stage adaptation, ranging from playwriting to directing, Javanese puppetry to British children’s theatre, and feminist performance to Japanese Noh. The transition of an existing source to the stage is not a smooth one: this collection examines the practices and the complex set of negotiations each work of transition and appropriation involves. Including interviews with Socìetas Raffaello Sanzio, Handspring Puppet Company, Katie Mitchell, Rimini Protokoll, Elevator Repair Service, Simon Stephens, Ong Keng Sen and Toneelgroep Amsterdam, the volume reveals performance’s enduring desire to return, rewrite and repeat. Margherita Laera is a lecturer in Drama and Theatre at the University of Kent, Canterbury, UK.

Applied Theatre Series Editors: Michael Balfour, Griffith University, Brisbane, Australia and Sheila Preston, University of East London, UK The Applied Theatre series is a major innovation in applied theatre scholarship, bringing together leading international scholars that engage with and advance the field of Applied Theatre. Each book presents new ways of seeing and critically reflecting on this dynamic and vibrant field. Volumes offer a theoretical framework and introductory survey of the field addressed, combined with a range of case studies illustrating and critically engaging with practice.

Applied Theatre: Aesthetics

Applied Theatre: Development

Gareth White

Tim Prentki

Applied Theatre: Aesthetics re-examines how the idea of 'the aesthetic' is relevant to performance in social settings. The disinterestedness that traditional aesthetics claims as a key characteristic of art makes little sense when making performances with ordinary people, rooted in their lives and communities, and with personal and social change as its aim. Yet practitioners of applied arts know that their work is not reducible to social work, therapy or education.

At once both guide book and provocation, this is an indispensable companion for students and practitioners of applied theatre. It addresses all key aspects: principles, origins, politics and aesthetics in a concise and accessible style designed to appeal both to those who have recently discovered this subdiscipline and to experienced practitioners and academics.

Gareth White's introductory chapters review the field and propose an interdisciplinary approach that builds on new developments in evolutionary, cognitive and neuroaesthetics alongside the politics of art. The second part of the book offers fresh perspectives through contributed case studies focused on a range of practices in places as diverse as the UK, South Africa, Cambodia, Rwanda, and Jamaica. Gareth White lectures in applied theatre and community performance at Central School of Speech and Drama, University of London, UK. He is also a director, performer and facilitator, with a particular interest in processes and theories of participation and collaborative processes.

Applied Theatre: Research Radical Departures Peter O'Connor & Michael Anderson Applied Theatre: Research is the first book to consolidate thinking about applied theatre as research through a thorough investigation of ATAR as a research methodology. It will be an indispensable resource for teachers and researchers in the area. The first section of the book details the history of the relationship between applied theatre and research, especially in the area of evaluation and impact assessment, and offering an examination of the literature surrounding applied theatre and research. The book then explores how applied theatre as research (ATAR) works as a democratic and pro-social adjunct to community based research and explains its complex relationship to arts informed inquiry, Indigenous research methods and other research epistemologies. The book provides a rationale for this approach focusing on its capacity for reciprocity within communities. The second part of the book provides a series of international case studies of effective practice which detail some of the key approaches in the method and based on work conducted in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and the South Pacific. The case studies provide a range of cultural contexts for the playing out of various forms of ATAR, and a concluding chapter considers the tensions and the possibilities inherent in ATAR. This is a groundbreaking book for all researchers who are working with communities who require a method that moves beyond current research practice. Peter O'Connor is Associate Professor and the Director of the Critical Research Unit in Applied Theatre at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. His research interests centre on the application of drama pedagogy within wider social justice or public education actions. His most recent work includes the development of the Teaspoon of Light Theatre Company as a response to the trauma of over 3000 earthquakes in Christchurch. Michael Anderson is Associate Professor, Associate Dean and Head of Drama Education at the University of Sydney, Australia. His recent publications explore how aesthetic education is changing in the 21st century. These publications include Masterclass in Drama Education: transforming teaching and learning, Teaching the Screen, Film Education for Generation Next (with Miranda Jefferson), Drama with Digital Technology (with John Carroll and David Cameron, Continuum, 2009) and Real Players: Drama, Education and Technology (with John Carroll and David Cameron Trentham, 2006).

Applied Theatre: Resettlement Drama, Refugees and Resilience Edited by Michael Balfour, Penny Bundy, Bruce Burton, Julie Dunn & Nina Woodrow This edited volume provides a series of studies of drama projects with young refugees completed in Australia to examine the strategies and their impact, and offers a framework that contextualises the intersections of refugee studies, resilience and trauma, and theatre and arts-based practice.

Rebecca D'Monte

Kevin J. Wetmore, Jr., Siyuan Liu & Erin B. Mee

British theatre from 1900 to 1950 has recently been subject to radical re-evaluation: with plays from the period setting theatres alight and gaining critical acclaim once again, this book explains why. D’Monte presents a comprehensive survey of the theatre and how it shaped the work that followed, considering: • The Edwardian theatre • The theatre of the First World War, including propaganda and musicals • The interwar years, the rise of commercial theatre and influence of Modernism • The theatre of the Second World War and post-war period Essays from leading scholars Penny Farfan, Steve Nicholson and Claire Cochrane give further critical perspectives on the period’s theatre and demonstrate its relevance to the drama of today. For anyone studying 20th-century British Drama, this will prove one of the foundational texts. Rebecca D'Monte is Senior Lecturer in Drama at the University of the West of England, Bristol, UK. Her publications include Cool Britannia? British Political Drama in the 1990s, co-edited with Graham Saunders.

Anthony Roche This is a fresh reassessment of the work of the principal playwrights associated with the Irish Dramatic Revival, a movement that was to radically redefine Irish theatre and see the birth of the world's first national theatre, the Abbey, in 1904. The work of O'Casey and Synge has had a profound influence on generations of writers and remains key to the study of modern drama, while work by Yeats and Lady Gregory has received renewed attention among theatre makers and scholars owing to their radical innovation and range. From a consideration of the twin strands of Irish drama prior to the revival, Anthony Roche considers the work of Synge and his experimentation in the creation of a new national drama that drew on native sources while developing a modern and prophetic form of theatre. He explores the role of Yeats as founder and playwright; the role of women and in particular Lady Gregory as producer and dramatist; and the playwrights who emerged following independence. O'Casey's ground-breaking Dublin plays receive detailed consideration, and the new Irish modernism that followed in the 30s and which also witnessed the founding of the Gate Theatre in Dublin. The Companion also features a number of essays from other leading scholars and contemporary practioners offering a variety of critical perspectives on this period of radical change and development in modern Irish theatre. Anthony Roche is an Associate Professor in the School of English, Drama and Film at University College Dublin, Ireland. He has published widely on Irish drama and theatre in both the 20th and 21st centuries. Recent book publications include Brian Friel: Theatre and Politics (2011).

The Theatre of Brian Friel

The Theatre of Caryl Churchill

Tradition and Modernity

R. Darren Gobert

Christopher Murray

The Theatre of Caryl Churchill documents and analyses the major plays and productions of one of Britain’s greatest and most innovative playwrights. Drawing on hundreds of never-before-seen archival sources from the US and the UK, it provides an essential guide to Churchill’s groundbreaking work for students and theatregoers.

Brian Friel is Ireland's foremost living playwright, whose work spans fifty years and has won numerous awards. Christopher Murray's Critical Companion is the definitive guide to Friel's work, offering both a detailed study of individual plays and a richly rewarding exploration of Friel's dual commitment to tradition and modernity across his oeuvre. Beginning with Friel's 1964 work Philadelphia, Here I Come!, Murray follows a broadly chronological route through the principal plays, including Aristocrats, Faith Healer, Translations, Dancing at Lughnasa, Molly Sweeney and The Home Place. Along the way it considers themes of exile, politics, fathers and sons, belief and ritual, history, memory, gender inequality, and loss, all set against the dialectic of tradition and modernity. It is supplemented by essays from Shaun Richards, David Krause and Csilla Bertha.

Each chapter illuminates connections across plays and explores major scripts alongside unpublished and unfinished projects. Each considers the rehearsal room, the stage, and the printed text. Each demonstrates how Churchill has pushed the boundaries of dramatic aesthetics while posing urgent political and theoretical questions. But since each maps Churchill’s work in a different way, each deploys a different reading practice - for many approaches are necessary to characterise such a restlessly imaginative and prolific career. Through its five interlocking parts, The Theatre of Caryl Churchill tells a story about the playwright, her work, and its place in contemporary drama.

Christopher Murray is Emeritus Professor of English and Drama at University College, Dublin, Ireland, where he was the founder member and first director of the UCD Drama Centre offering MA and PhD in Modern Drama Studies. His many publications include TwentiethCentury Irish Drama: Mirror up to Nation. He is chair of the board of directors of the Gaiety School of Acting, Dublin.

R. Darren Gobert specialises in comparative drama, dramatic and performance theory, and the philosophy of theatre at York University, Canada, where he is Associate Professor in the Department of English and the Graduate Programme in Theatre and Performance Studies. His publications include The Mind-Body Stage: Passion and Interaction in the Cartesian Theater. He is incoming editor of the journal Modern Drama.

The Theatre and Films of Jez Butterworth

The Theatre of Tennessee Williams

David Ian Rabey

Brenda Murphy

With Butterworth's play Jerusalem having been a smash hit in the West End and on Broadway, this is the first book to examine all of his writings for stage and film and to identify how and why his work appeals so widely and profoundly. It contains interviews with those who have worked on his plays in production, and examines the way that he weaves suspenseful stories of eccentric outsiders, whose adventures echo widespread contemporary social anxieties and involve surprising expressions of both violence and generosity. Through detailed study of each of his stage plays and film scripts, Rabey reveals how Butterworth unearths the strange forms of wildness and defiance lurking in the depths and edges of England. The volume includes essays by James Balestrieri, Elisabeth Angel-Perez and Mary Karen Dahl. David Ian Rabey is Professor of Drama and Theatre Studies at Aberystwyth University, UK, and Artistic Director of Lurking Truth/Gwir sy’n Llechu Theatre Company. His critical publications include Howard Barker: Politics and Desire (1989, 2009), David Rudkin: Sacred Disobedience (1997), English Drama Since 1940 (2003), Howard Barker: Ecstasy and Death (2009), and the forthcoming, Theatre and Time (2016). He has co-edited two collections of essays, Theatre of Catastrophe (2006) and Howard Barker's Art of Theatre (2013). His plays include two volumes, The Wye Plays (2004) and Lovefuries (2008).

Brecht in Practice

Ibsen in Practice

Theatre, Theory and Performance

Relational Readings of Performance, Cultural Encounters and Power

David Barnett Bertolt Brecht's reputation as a flawed, irrelevant or difficult thinker for the theatre can often go before him to such an extent that we run the risk of forgetting the achievements that made him and his company, the Berliner Ensemble, famous around the world. David Barnett examines both Brecht the theorist and Brecht the practitioner to reveal the complementary relationship between the two.This book aims to sensitize the reader to the approaches Brecht took to the world and the stage with a view to revealing just how carefully he thought about and realized his vision of a politicized, interventionist theatre. What emerges is a nuanced understanding of his concepts, his work with actors and his approaches to directing. The reader is encouraged to engage with Brecht's method that sought to 'make theatre politically' in order to locate the innovations he introduced into his stagecraft. There are many examples given of how Brecht's ideas can be staged, and the final chapter takes two very different plays and asks how a Brechtian approach can enliven and illuminate their production. Ultimately, the book invites readers, students and theatre-makers to discover new ways of apprehending and making use of Brecht. David Barnett is Reader in Drama, Theatre and Performance at the University of Sussex, UK.

Second only to Shakespeare in terms of performances, Ibsen is performed in almost every culture. Since Ibsen wrote his plays about bourgeois family life in Northern Europe, they have become part of local theatre traditions in cultures as different as the Chinese and the Zimbabwean, the Indian and the Iranian. The result is that today there are incredibly many and different 'Ibsens' around the world. A play like Peer Gynt can be staged on the same continent and in the same year as a politically progressive piece of theatre for development in one place, and as a nationalistic and orientalistic piece of elite spectacle in another. This book charts differences across cultures and political boundaries, and attempts to understand them through an indepth analysis of their relation to political, social, ideological and economic forces within and outside of the performances themselves. Through the discussion of productions of Ibsen plays on three continents, this book explores how Ibsen is created through practice and his work and reputation maintained as a classics central to the theatrical repertoire. Frode Helland is Director of the Centre of Ibsen Studies, and professor of literature at the University of Oslo, Norway. He is in charge of the international research projects 'Ibsen between Cultures' and 'Ibsen in Use'.

Postdramatic Theatre and the Political

Theatre in the Expanded Field

International Perspectives on Contemporary Performance

Alan Read

Edited by Karen Jürs-Munby, Jerome Carroll & Steve Giles Is postdramatic theatre political and if so how? How does it relate to Brecht's ideas of political theatre, for example? How can we account for the relationship between aesthetics and politics in new forms of theatre, playwriting, and performance? The chapters in this book discuss crucial aspects of the issues raised by the postdramatic turn in theatre in the late 20th and early 21st century: the status of the audience and modes of spectatorship in postdramatic theatre; the political claims of postdramatic theatre; its ongoing relationship with the dramatic tradition; its dialectical qualities, or its eschewing of the dialectic; questions of representation and the real in theatre; the role of bodies, perception, appearance and theatricality in postdramatic theatre; as well as subjectivity and agency in postdramatic theatre, dance and performance. Karen Jürs-Munby is a lecturer in Theatre Studies at the University of Lancaster, UK. She translated and wrote a critical introduction for Hans-Thies Lehmann's Postdramatic Theatre (2006). Jerome Carroll is lecturer in German Studies at the University of Nottingham, UK. Steven Giles is Professor Emeritus of German Studies and Critical Theory at the University of Nottingham, UK.

Seven Approaches to Performance Theatre in the Expanded Field is a fiercely original, bold and daring exploration of the fields of theatre and performance studies and the received narratives and histories that underpin them. Rich with interdisciplinary reference, international, eclectic and broad-ranging in its examples, it offers readers a compelling and provocative reassessment of the disciplines, one that spans pre-history to the present day. Sixty years ago, in 1962, Richard Southern wrote a remarkable book called The Seven Ages of the Theatre. It was unusual in its time for taking a trans-disciplinary, new-historical and avowedly internationalist approach to its subject - nothing less than a totalizing view of its field. Theatre in the Expanded Field does not attempt to mimic Southern's work but rather takes his spirit of adventure and ambition as its frame for the contemporary moment of performance and its diverse pasts. Identifying seven ways of exploring the performance field, from pre-history to postdramatic theatre the book presents studies of both contemporary and historical works not as a chronological succession, but in keeping with their coeval qualities, as movements or 'generations' of connection and interaction, dissensus and interruption. It does this with the same purpose as Richard Southern's original work: to provide for the planning of responsive performance spaces 'now'. Illustrated throughout with line-drawings, Theatre in the Expanded Field is as richly rewarding as it is ambitious and expansive in it vision. Alan Read is Professor of Theatre at King's College, London, UK. He was Director of the Council of Europe Workshop on Theatre and Communities, and Rotherhithe Theatre Workshop in the Docklands area of South East London.

Translated by John Willett & Ralph Manheim

Translated by Sabine Berendse & Paul Clements

Everyone knows that Bertolt Brecht was one of the great 20thcentury innovators in theatre - the literary-theatrical equivalent of a Picasso or Stravinsky - and Germany's greatest poet of the last century, but the playwright was also a dazzling writer of stories. Storytelling permeated his art as a dramatist; fundamentally in his plays he was a storyteller. This volume collects the complete short stories written by Brecht, including the prize-winning 'The Monster', and the fragmentary memoir ghost-written by Brecht, 'Life Story of the boxer Samson-Körner'. Brecht scholars Marc Silberman and Shuhsi Kao provide an introduction and editorial notes.

Hanns Eisler in Conversation with Hans Bunge

The Austrian composer Hanns Eisler was Bertolt Brecht's closest friend and most politically committed collaborator. In these conversations with Hans Bunge which took place over a period of four years, from 1958 until his death in 1962, Eisler offers a compelling and absorbing account of his and Brecht's period of exile in Europe and the USA between 1933 and 1947, and of the quality of artistic, social and intellectual life in post-war East Germany. Brecht, Music and Culture includes a discussion of a number of Brecht's principal plays, including Life of Galileo and The Caucasian Chalk Circle, considers the place of music in Brecht's work and discusses the time that Brecht was brought before The House of Un-American Activities Committee. It includes lively accounts of Brecht's meetings with key cultural figures, including Arnold Schönberg, Charlie Chaplin and Thomas Mann, and offers throughout a sustained response to the question of the purpose of art in a time of political turmoil. Throughout the conversations, Eisler provides illuminating and original insights into Brecht's work and ideas and gives a highly entertaining first-hand account of his friend's personality and attitudes. First published in Germany in 1975, and now published in English for the first time, the conversations provide a fascinating account of the lives and work of two of the twentieth century's greatest artists. Hans Bunge was assistant director and dramaturg at the Berliner Ensemble in Germany in the 1950s and later became first director of the Brecht Archive. Sabine Berendse, the daughter of the late Hans Bunge, is a Librarian and Information Specialist in Cardiff, Wales, and a freelance translator.

Stephen Joseph: Theatre Pioneer and Provocateur

A Student Handbook to the Plays of Arthur Miller

Paul Elsam

All My Sons, Death of a Salesman, The Crucible, A View from the Bridge, Broken Glass

A 1967 obituary in The Times labelled Stephen Joseph ‘the most successful missionary to work in the English theatre since the second world war’. This radical man brought theatre-inthe-round to Britain, provoked Ayckbourn, Pinter and verbatim theatre creator Peter Cheeseman to write and direct, and democratised theatre-going. Now available in paperback, and with a foreword by Sir Alan Ayckbourn, this book investigates his forgotten legacy. Drawing on archival material (including letters from Harold Pinter, J. B. Priestley, Peggy Ramsay and others), and on new interviews with figures including Sir Alan Ayckbourn, Trevor Griffiths and Sir Ben Kingsley, Paul Elsam demonstrates how the impact on theatre in Britain of manager, director and ‘missionary’ Stephen Joseph has been far greater than is currently acknowledged within traditional theatre history narratives. Paul Elsam trained as an actor at the former Manchester Polytechnic School of Theatre, UK, and has worked widely as a performer in theatre, radio, film and television, including in BAFTA and Olivier-nominated productions on stage and screen. He has directed professional actors and students in both the UK and the USA, often working ‘in the round’. He has held teaching posts at the universities of Hull and Teesside, and at the Academy of Live and Recorded Arts. He maintains a strong research interest in post-war theatre historiography, and in the praxis of actor training.

Justice Performed

This is the first study of the reality TV genre of courtroom drama that traces its theatrical legacy, connecting the phenomenon of the daytime TV shows to a long history of theatrical trials staged to educate audiences in pedagogies of citizenship. It examines how judge TV fulfills part of law's performative function: that of providing a participatory spectacle the public can recognize as justice. Drawing on interviews with judge TV judges, producers and production staff, as well as the author's experience as a studio audience member, the book scrutinizes the performativity of the genre, the needs it meets, and the inherent ideological biases about race, gender and civic instruction that it exposes. Sarah Kozinn is a Mellon postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Theater at Occidental College in Los Angeles, California, USA. She is a scholar of law and performance, develops new works for film, TV and the web, and acts professionally in film, theater and television.

Niki Flacks Acting with Passion draws heavily on the theories of mind-body psychology – that the release of chronic muscular tension can be accompanied by the release of emotions – offering actors the keys to demonstrating emotion on cue. Through a series of physical exercises, actors learn to access feelings through the body rather than the mind. Beginning with the body as 'the instrument', Acting with Passion leads actors through a series of physical exercises combining movement, tactile exploration and vocal release. Once physical blocks are removed, the actor then uses memorized text to place the feelings where they belong. Written with her characteristic verve and accessibility, and using practical exercises to guide the actor through each stage, Acting With Passion is the result of Niki Flaks's popular acting workshops. Niki Flaks is a director, actor, teacher and psychologist, whose career spans both sides of the Atlantic. Flaks is a frequent tutor at the Actors Centre in London’s West End and at the Algonquin Theater in New York. Her very popular workshops in Paris led to her invitation to be part of the prestigious faculty of European A.C.T. teaching actors in London, Paris and Berlin. She has been an assistant professor of theatre at Southern Methodist University, USA, and holds a B.S. from Northwestern University, USA, and an M.S.W. from The University of Texas at Arlington, USA.

Anatomy of Performance Training

Encountering Ensemble

John Matthews

Edited by John Britton

We train because we are human and we become human because we train. This is the surprising and original conclusion of Anatomy of Performance Training, in which John Matthews shows how training is a very human response to the problems of having a body and living in the world.

Encountering Ensemble, is a text for students, teachers, researchers and practitioners who wish to develop a deeper understanding of the history, conceptual foundations and practicalities of the world of ensemble theatre. It is the first book to draw together definitions and practitioner examples, combining historical and contemporary case studies with a wide range of approaches and perspectives.

Using illustrative case-studies of professional practice, each chapter addresses a specific body part, offering a self-contained discussion of its symbolic and practical significance in the artistic, and commercial, activities of training. Ideal for readers seeking to understand the relationship the body has with the theatre and training, or for teachers looking for a new, innovative approach to performance, Anatomy of Performance Training – and its complementary video content – is an accessible, original contribution to the philosophy of training for performance. John Matthews is a performer and theatre-maker, and author of Training for Performance (2011). As Research Fellow of The Stanislavski Centre he taught at Rose Bruford College, UK and he now teaches students of theatre and dance at Plymouth University, UK.

From Stage to Screen Bill Britten The camera enables us to see right into a character’s soul, revealing their innermost thoughts and emotions. Screen acting requires a more rigorously truthful and spontaneous performance than the stage, as well as very different technical expertise.

Written by Bill Britten, the Head of Screen Acting and Directing at the Drama Centre, London, UK, From Stage to Screen examines the actors’ internal resources – the skills and abilities the trained stage actor already has – allowing them to successfully transfer their skills from the stage to the screen. Bill Britten is Head of Screen Acting and Directing at the Drama Centre, London, UK. Outside the Drama Centre he coaches performers from other disciplines wanting to move into acting. He also regularly runs development classes for professional actors at the Actors Centre.

Donna Soto-Morettini

Beginning with what every first-year acting student faces in class and ending with what leading professional actors must achieve every night on the three stages of the Royal National Theatre, Patsy Rodenburg's celebrated work as one of the world's foremost voice and acting coaches is fully revealed in this thoughtful and inspirational book about the process of acting. Through a seven-step process, she takes the actor through an intensive voice and speech workshop tackling the vexing problems faced in rehearsal and on stage: breathing and relaxation; vocal range and power, communication with other actors and the audience; integrating movement, singing and speaking; deciphering and animating a text; adjusting voice to different size stages and auditoria; working in mediums beyond the stage; sustaining a performance through an entire evening and a long run and identifying and overcoming the countless potential problems that face every performer who works in front of an audience. Patsy Rodenburg is Director of Voice at London's Royal National Theatre and Guildhall School of Music, UK.
