Telling Our Stories of Home

The Inequalities

Edited by Kathy A. Perkins, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA

Alexander Zeldin

International Performance Pieces By and About Women

What is home? The answer seems obvious. But Telling Our Stories of Home, an international collection of 10 plays by and about women from Haiti, Palestine, Uganda, Brazil, Lebanon, Cameroon, Venezuela, India, United Kingdom, and the USA, complicates the answer. These are voices seldom represented to a larger audience. The plays and performance pieces range from 20 to 90 minute pieces and include a mix of monologue, duologue, and ensemble plays. Short yet powerful, they allow for a wide range of performance opportunities, particularly in an age of social-distancing with flexible casts that together invite the theme of home to be performed and studied on the page.

Beyond Caring; LOVE; Faith, Hope and Charity The Inequalities combines three plays from British author and director Alexander Zeldin into a capitalism-critical trilogy. Contextualised with an essay before each play and in-depth interview with the author, Zeldin's three plays take a magnifying glass to the seemingly ‘smaller’ stories, with his realism shaped by the urge to portray societal truths on stage. His innovative research methods include involving people in the development and performance of his pieces who have genuinely been affected by the subject matter, using their experiences to form the foundations of his work.

A Life in 16 Films

The Dramaturgy of Space

Steve Waters, University of East Anglia, UK

Translated by Adam Versényi

How Cinema Made a Playwright With a playful nod to Stanislavski's My Life in Art, Steve Waters examines how the very idea of film has defined him as a playwright and a person. Through the the lens of cinema, it provides a cultural and political snapshot of life in Britain from the 2nd part of the 20th century up to the present day. From The Wizard of Oz to Code Unknown, from sci-fi to documentary, from queer cinema to world cinema, this honest, comic and erudite book offers a view of film as a way of thinking about how we live.

Ramón Griffero

Ramón Griffero is one of the most important theatre practitioners of the 20th and 21st centuries in Chile and in Latin America generally, having contributed significantly to the resurgence of contemporary Chilean theatre. In The Dramaturgy of Space, he describes his aesthetic philosophy, theoretical approach to theatrical creation and illustrates that theory through practical application in a series of exercises. Published here in English for the first time, the book combines a conceptual approach with examples taken from some of Griffero’s own work, thus offering a balance between theory and practice.

Louise Ann Wilson, Theatre maker, UK

Nebojša Tabacki, Independent scholar, Germany

Applied and Socially Engaged Scenography in Rural Landscapes In this book practitioner and scholar Louise Ann Wilson examines the expanding field of socially engaged scenography and promotes the development of therapeutic scenography as an applied art form. Through an account of her own practice combined with case studies drawing on artworks from other international practitioners - including those from Early Romanticism and the Land Art movement of the 1960s, the autobiographical work of artists such as Elena Brotherus (Finland), Tabitha Moses (UK) and Marina Abramovic's autobiographical walking-work The Lovers: The Great Wall Walk (1988, China) - this is the first book on site-specific, socially engaged and therapeutic scenography.

Making Hip Hop Theatre

The Shopping Mall as a Theatrical Experience Consuming Scenography explores the ways in which scenography is used to create a global cultural impact and accelerate profits in the sitespecific context of themed shopping malls. It analyses the effect of architectural, aesthetic, spatial, material and sensory design through performative encounters with consumers in order to offer a better understanding of performance design. In doing so, this book confronts the issue of how, in the commercial context of privately owned businesses, scenography can reflect upon culture and society and the challenges it faces in doing so.

Inside the Rehearsal Room

Carey Perloff, American Conservatory Theater, USA

Robert Marsden, Staffordshire University, UK

A Director's View

To many, Pinter and Stoppard are the central figures of 20th-century Anglophone playwriting, despite sitting at opposite ends of the aesthetic, theatrical and political spectrum. However, Pinter and Stoppard reveals that - by examining these contemporaries alongside one another and in the context of the rehearsal room - we can glean new insights, unearth key connections, and draw contrasts that add new meaning to their work. Theatre director Carey Perloff supplements her first-hand experience of working with both writers with case studies of particular plays in production to provide new ways of positioning their plays for today.

Pinter and Stoppard

My Character Wouldn’t Do That Contemporary Cognitive Science and Acting Donna Soto-Morettini, Edinburgh Napier University, UK Based on the latest research into brain activity and human behaviour, the book covers areas that standard acting texts do (character, emotion, memory, imagination, making active choices) but reconceives each of these elements through the lens of that contemporary research. Starting from the idea that the main hindrance to a great acting performance is self-consciousness on the part of the performer, My Character Wouldn’t DoThat examines the ways in which some of our traditional and contemporary approaches to acting put us into a ‘mind space’ that can encourage self-consciousness.

Musical Theatre Script and Song Analysis Through the Ages James Olm, former Chair of the Department of Theatre and Dance at Casper College, USA

At the heart of any musical lie its music and lyrics, yet it is this area that is least understood. This book offers a brand new terminology of analysis that get to the core of what holds a musical together: the libretto, music, and lyrics. Through identifying methods of lyric and musical analysis and applying these to 10 different musicals throughout history, students are able to ask questions such as: why does this song sound this way?; what is this lyric doing to identify character purpose?; and how is a character communicating this feeling to an audience?

Performing Crisis

Perspectives on Contemporary British Theatre Edited by Clare Wallace, Clara Escoda, University of Barcelona, Spain, José Ramón Prado-Pérez, Jaume I University, Spain & Enric Monforte, University of Barcelona, Spain A collection of incisive investigations into the ways in which 21st-century British theatre works with - and through - crisis, paying particular attention to the way in which writers and practitioners consider the ethical and social challenges of crisis. Anchored in an interdisciplinary approach, the book brings multifaceted ideas into dialogue with the diverse aesthetics, practices and themes of a range of theatrical work produced in Britain since 2005. Performing Crisis considers how crisis is being re-thought and re-orientated through theatrical performance and the ways theatre invites us to respond to the challenges of the contemporary times.

House of the Pelvic Truth Blakeley White-McGuire

This book provides a study of the history of the Martha Graham Dance Company - the longeststanding modern dance company in America - its international diaspora and the current generation of dancers taking up the mantel. Through contextualised interviews and photographs, Blakeley White-McGuire (a principle dancer of the company) illuminates the ongoing significance of Martha Graham almost 100 years after her dance company was founded. The company's story is told through the words of performers from Graham's iconic artistic lineage. Through this, we come to understand the stories of women and men who have built their own creative lives upon Graham's foundation of artistic and philosophical work.

Performing Arousal

Precarious Bodies and Frames of Representation Edited by Julia Listengarten, University of Central Florida, USA & Yana Meerzon, University of Ottawa

The book balances theory, contextualisation and praxis, building a hitherto non-existent archive of scholarship in Indian theatre within a postdramatic framework, arguing for its place within contemporary Indian theatre. Interspersing this analysis with Indian theatre-makers’ reflections on their own contemporary performance theory and practices, Postdramatic Theatre and India looks how India is influencing and inspiring the rest of the world.

What is the connection between arousal and precarity in performance? Drawing on the complicated relationship between arousing images and the frames of their representability, this original collection of articles considers arousal as a mode of inquiry and encourages new ways of examining the notion of the precarious body in political performance. From multiple and diverse perspectives and thinking within political and queer performances of protest, the collection is divided into four sections: Pleasured Bodies, Political Bodies, Trans/Bodies and Abject Bodies.

Classical Greek Tragedy

Judith Fletcher, Wilfrid Laurier University, Ontario, Canada A guide to the form of classical Greek tragedy, grounded in analysis of three representative works. It reconstructs how original audiences in 5th-century BCE Athens created meaning from the performance of tragedy at the dramatic festivals sponsored by the city-state and its wealthiest citizens. It brings into play the context of Athenian political and legal structures, gender ideology, religious beliefs, and other social forces that contributed to spectators’ reception of the drama. The focus is on the relationship between performers and watchers, not only male citizen audience members, but also women, metics (free non-citizens), and foreigners.

Questors, Jesters and Renegades

The Story of Britain's Amateur Theatre Michael Coveney The first account of its kind, this book by theatre critic Michael Coveney looks at the rich history of amateur theatre in the UK.

Through a series of case studies including Twelfth Night, Susanna Centlivre’s A Bold Stroke for a Wife, Oliver Goldsmith’s She Stoops to Conquer and Shelagh Delaney’s A Taste of Honey, the book explores and analyses the shapes that romantic comedy has assumed in the theatre from Greek New Comedy via Shakespeare to the present and charts the ways in which the form has been shaped by changing social norms.

Modernists and the Theatre

The Drama of W.B. Yeats, Ezra Pound, D.H. Lawrence, James Joyce, T.S. Eliot and Virginia Woolf James Moran, University of Nottingham, UK Modernists and the Theatre is the first study to examine how theories of modernism intersect with those of the theatre within the works, philosophies and literary lives of six key modernist writers: W.B. Yeats, Ezra Pound, James Joyce, D.H. Lawrence, T.S. Eliot and Virginia Woolf. Drawing on archive material and neglected documents, James Moran reveals how these figures interacted with theatre through playwriting, engaging in philosophical debates and participating in performances. Moran uncovers how the playhouse became a space where highmodernists could explore a tension that fascinated them, and which motivated much of their wider thinking and literary work.

Essays on Ethics and Representation

Translated by David Sánchez Cano Translated into English for the first time, The Bodies of Others offers a reading of the intersection between ethics and representation in the field of performing arts, literature and cinema.

Tradition Building and Transmission Processes What did modern theatre in Russia look like and how did it influence global theatre at the start of the 20th century? This book offers readings of the Russian theatre scene from 18981934 through a unique history-theory-practice approach with attention to the transmission of Russian theatrical practices to other cultures. Stefan Aquilina argues that it is through transmission from one culture to another that theatre traditions are formed and consolidated. This investigation is accompanied by a series of workshops and exercises to be practiced in the rehearsal room and studio, bringing the migration of Russian modernist theatre into the present.

Disseminating Shakespeare in the Nordic Countries

Shifting Centres and Peripheries in the Nineteenth Century Edited by Nely Keinänen, University of Helsinki, Finland & Per Sivefors, Linnaeus University, Sweden Charting the early dissemination of Shakespeare in the Nordic countries in the 19th century, the authors open up an area of global Shakespeare studies that has received little attention to date. With case studies exploring the earliest translations of Hamlet into Danish; the first translation of Macbeth into Swedish; adaptations into Finnish; Kierkegaard’s re-working of King Lear, and the reception of the African-American actor Ira Aldridge’s performances in Stockholm, it intervenes in the current discussion of global Shakespeare and more recent concepts like ‘rhizome’, which challenge the notion of an Anglocentric model of ‘centre’ versus ‘periphery’.

Shakespeare’s Queer Analytics Distant Reading and Collaborative Intimacy in 'Love’s Martyr'

Don Rodrigues, University of Memphis, USA What led Shakespeare to write his most cryptic poem, “The Phoenix and Turtle”, published in Robert Chester’s enigmatic collection of verse, Love’s Martyr (1601)? Don Rodrigues critiques and revises traditional computational attribution studies by integrating the insights of queer theory to a study of Love's Martyr in which he presents, most radically, data that supports the once-outlandish theory that Shakespeare may have had a significant hand in editing works signed by Chester. It articulates 'queer analytics' – an approach to literary analysis that joins the non-normative close reading of queer theory to the distant attention of computational literary studies.

Adapting Macbeth A Cultural History

William C. Carroll, Boston University, USA Analyzing adaptations and tropes of interpretation of Macbeth since its first performance, this book argues that the centuries-long habit of ‘correcting’ Macbeth to fit a period’s political and aesthetic assumptions both misrepresents and domesticates the play’s strangeness, hybridity, and logical difficulties. The widearray of adaptations and appropriations considered range across elite and popular culture divides: from Sir William Davenant’s adaptation for the Restoration stage (1663–4), an early 18th century novel, The Secret History of Mackbeth and Verdi's Macbeth, through to 20th and 21st century adaptations for stage and screen, besides contemporary novelizations, comic books, young adult literature and commercial products.

Edited by Esther Kim Lee, Duke University, USA Bringing together over 80 major critical articles, this work collects scholarly articles, reviews and critical interventions that are indispensable to anyone wishing to gain an understanding of world drama from the past 150 years.

Modern drama is revealed as a worldwide phenomenon in which a diverse array of artists and writers participated and in which modernism is seen to have affected all parts of the world in ways that are much more complex and multi-directional than what has been assumed in Eurocentric models. The 4 volumes are arranged both thematically and chronologically to give readers a sense of how world modern and contemporary drama began and how it has been studied.
