Woyzeck

Georg Büchner Edited by Laura Martin, University of Glasgow, UK Translated by John Mackendrick Written in 1836, Woyzeck is often considered to be the first truly modern play.

It is published here as a Student Edition with introductory commentary and notes, ideal for A-Level and undergraduate students, by Laura Martin from the University of Glasgow.

Earthquakes in London Mike Bartlett

Edited by Bridget Escolme, Queen Mary, University of London, UK

Newsroom, political platform, local hot spot, confession box, preacher-pulpit and football stadium. For generations, African men have gathered in barber shops to discuss the world. These are places where the banter can be barbed and the truth is always telling. Barber Shop Chronicles, which was partly inspired by verbatim recordings, is a heart-warming, hilarious and insightful play that leaps from a barber shop in Peckham to Johannesburg, Harare, Kampala, Lagos and Accra over the course of a single day. It is here produced as a Methuen Drama Student Edition with commentary and notes by Dipo Agboluaje.

Mike Bartlett's contemporary and directed dialogue combines a strong sense of humanity with epic ambition, as well as finely-aimed shafts of political comment embedded effortlessly into every scene. Earthquakes in London represents modern playwriting at its most exciting and ambitious. Earthquakes in London first published in 2010 and has subsequently become a much-produced and widely studied drama text. It is published here as a Student Edition alongside commentary and notes by Bridget Escolme.

A Raisin in the Sun Lorraine Hansberry

A Raisin in the Sun was the first play written by a black woman to be produced on Broadway and won the New York Drama Critics Circle Award.

This new, updated edition in Methuen Drama's Modern Classics series includes the full, definitive text and a brand new introduction by Soyica Colbert.

Terrence McNally

Mr Burns

Anne Washburn

Terrence McNally's Master Class presents the legendary opera diva, Maria Callas, as she puts aspiring young singers through their paces in a series of master classes. Both moving and entertaining, this theatrical tour de force dramatizes the Callas phenomenon and "is an unembarrassed, involving meditation on Callas's life and the nature of her art. Such subjects are not easily dramatized, certainly not with this brio." (New York Times). After opening on Broadway in 1995 with Zoe Caldwell and Audra McDonald, the play premiered in London in 1997. This edition features a new introduction.

It’s the end of everything in contemporary America. A future without power. But what will survive? Mr Burns asks how the stories we tell make us the people we are, explodes the boundaries between pop and high culture and, when society has crumbled, imagines the future for America’s most famous family. A delightfully bizarre, funny, bleak and wonderful play that challenges dramatic form and the nature of theatre as storytelling. Published for the first time in Methuen Drama's Modern Classics series, this edition features a new introduction by Charlotte Higgins.

Does Rosalind Franklin know how precious her photograph is? In the race to unlock the secret of life it could be the one to hold the key. With rival scientists looking everywhere for the answer, who will be first to see it and more importantly, understand it?

Sound Effect

The Theatre We Hear

Caoimhe McAvinchey, Queen Mary University of London,UK

Ross Brown, Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, UK

This book provides the first sustained critical enquiry into applied theatre practice with women affected by the criminal justice system. Drawing on a range of international case studies, interviews with practitioners and participants and original documentation from applied theatre projects, the book articulates new understanding about the cultural representations of women who offend, how government policy inscribes social, economic and political values upon these bodies and how applied theatre practice negotiates ideas of identity, agency, authority and representation.

Sound Effect tells the story of the effect of theatrical aurality on modern culture. Beginning with the emergence of the modern scenic sound effect in the late 18th century, and ending with headphone theatre which brings theatre’s auditorium into an intimate relationship with the audience’s internal sonic space, the book relates contemporary questions of theatre sound design to a 250-year Western cultural history of hearing. It focuses on sound in popular culture – ranging from pantomimes to popular radio theatre, to comedy, novelty sound effects and pop music – arguing that these have exerted a major influence on contemporary theatre.

Hammond charts the changing use of the form and how having always been a religious form, in the 20th century it is revived to serve the needs of audiences who have lost their political, moral and religious bearings.

– Theatre History & Criticism

How has satire been used by theatre artists and what have its targets been? How has its form and function changed in different ages? Joel Schechter reconsiders the entertainment, political dissent and comic social commentary created by innovative writers and directors since this theatrical form took the stage in ancient Athens. Arranged chronologically, it reveals how writers and artists from Aristophanes to the 18th-century plays of John Gay and Henry Fielding, to the creations of Joan Littlewood, Bertolt Brecht, Vsevelod Meyerhold, Erika Mann, Brendan Behan and Dario Fo, have all prompted audiences to laugh at corruption, greed, injustice and abusive authority.

Performance, Medicine and the Human Alex Mermikides, Guildhall School of Music & Drama, London, UK

This book explores parallels between performance and medicine. Its rationale is that performance and medicine share a number of concerns including questions of corporeality, subjectivity, identity and embodiment; and both individual and social responses to health, illness and the advances of biomedical knowledge and technologies. Above all, though, performance and medicine share an engagement with the human, at a time when the ‘concept of the human’ is ‘exploded’ (Braidotti, 2013).The study is illustrated with first-hand accounts of hospital wards, operating theatre, laboratories, rehearsal rooms, theatre auditoria and stages.

Mediatized Dramaturgy

The Evolution of Plays in the Media Age Seda Ilter, Birkbeck College, University of London, UK Media technologies and their socio-cultural repercussions have increasingly influenced British theatre, particularly since the ubiquitous prevalence of digital technologies from the 1990s onwards. This study explores the ways in which plays have evolved in relation to the socio-cultural and cognitive conditions of a mediatized age, and how text as a literary form and the basis for live performance can respond to these conditions and open up new possibilities for performance. The study also combines theatre and media theory through the innovative concept of ‘mediatized dramaturgy’.

The Theatre of Simon Stephens Jacqueline Bolton, University of Lincoln, UK

Focusing on issues of theatricality and the effect of plays in performance, this critical companion surveys the work of Simon Stephens. Stephens's award-winning plays feature prominently in the repertoires of theatres across Europe. His collaborations with a variety of artists and practitioners have produced a dramaturgically diverse body of theatre. Bolton's coverage of his work, from 1998's Bluebird to Carmen Disruption in 2015, contextualizes Stephens's oeuvre through his embrace of European aesthetics and processes, and explores the impact of this upon attitudes towards the function of writing and the role of the audience in live performance.

John Webster

This fully modernised play text is accompanied by insightful commentary notes, while its lively introduction provides an essential contextual grounding in the court scandals, anti-Catholic sentiment and Senecan drama that formed a backdrop to Webster’s tragedy. Exploring the challenges of staging this highly melodramatic play, Lara Bovilsky guides you through the most interesting points of its rich performance history, and analyses the onslaught of recent productions with race-conscious and regendered casts.

The four full-length studies at the heart of the book focus in depth on Shakespeare’s four greatest tragedies: Hamlet, Othello, King Lear and Macbeth. Through compelling new readings of the plays, grounded in close analysis of their language and form, Kiernan Ryan shows how Shakespeare dramatizes the tragic realities of his world from the standpoint of the transfigured future that our world still awaits.

Shakespeare’s Others in 21stcentury European Performance The Merchant of Venice and Othello

Edited by Boika Sokolova, University of Notre Dame in London, UK & Janice Valls-Russell, University Paul Valéry, Montpellier, France The Merchant of Venice and Othello are the two Shakespeare plays which serve as touchstones for contemporary understandings and responses to notions of 'the stranger' and 'the other'. This groundbreaking collection explores the dissemination of the two plays through Europe during the 20th and 21st centuries, tracing how productions and interpretations have reflected the changing conditions and attitudes locally and nationally. Packed with case studies of productions of each play in different countries, and featuring contributions from stage directors, the volume opens vistas on the continent’s turbulent history marked by the instability of allegiances and boundaries, and shifting senses of identity.

Contemporary Readings in Textual Studies, Editing and Performance

Shakespeare / Text sets new agendas for the study and use of the Shakespearean text. Written by 20 leading experts on textual matters, each essay challenges a single entrenched binary—such as book/theater, source/ adaptation, text/paratext, canon/apocrypha, sense/nonsense, extant/ ephemeral, material/digital, and original/copy—that has come to both define and limit the way we read, analyze, teach, perform, and edit Shakespeare today. The chapters in Shakespeare / Text make strong cases for challenging received wisdom and offer new, portable methods of treating 'the text' (in its myriad instantiations) that will be useful to scholars, editors, theatre practitioners, teachers and librarians.

Shakespeare and Forgetting

Peter Holland, University of Notre Dame, USA This is the first book devoted to a consideration of how Shakespeare explores the concept of forgetting and how forgetting functions in performance. A wide-ranging study of how Shakespeare dramatizes forgetting, it offers close readings of Shakespeare's plays and considers too what we forget while watching the plays in performance, what Shakespeare forgot and what we forget about Shakespeare. The book touches on an equally broad range of forgetting theory from antiquity through to the present day, of forgetting in recent novels and films, and on dozens of productions across the history of Shakespeare on stage and film.

Imagining Cleopatra

Performing Gender and Power in Early Modern England Yasmin Arshad, Independent Scholar, USA

Shaming Gestures and Gender Politics on the Renaissance Stage Miranda Fay Thomas, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland Shakespeare's Body Language is a groundbreaking new study of Shakespearean drama, revealing the previously unseen history of how social tensions are found within the performance of gestures, and how such gestures are used as a powerful form of control to shame others within the body politic of early modern England. It offers new insights into the motivations behind gesticular performance and the effects of their staging. Featuring in-depth analyses of plays across Shakespeare's career, this book explores how the playwright’s understanding of shame and humiliation is rooted in performance anxiety and gender politics, explaining how theatrical gestures can create dramatic tension in a way that words alone cannot.

Antony and Cleopatra: A Critical Reader Edited by Domenico Lovascio, University of Genoa, Italy

Shakespeare's characterization of Cleopatra may dominate the collective consciousness, but he was only one of several 16th-century writers fascinated with the former Queen of Egypt. This interdisciplinary study investigates images of Cleopatra in the early modern period and examines how her story was mediated and used. It draws on literary, philosophical, historical, art historical, and biographical resources, and gender, race, and performance studies, to consider what was known and thought about Cleopatra in the period.

Antony and Cleopatra is one of Shakespeare's most enduringly popular and intellectually as well as emotionally challenging tragedies. This guide offers students and scholars an introduction to its critical and performance history, including notable stage productions and film versions. It includes a keynote chapter outlining major areas of current research on the play and four new critical essays that chart the play’s wrestling with the cultural iconography of three consequential personalities in Roman history and their role in a pivotal moment in Rome’s transition to empire.

Shakespeare’s Common Language

Alysia Kolentsis, University of Waterloo, Canada

Shakespeare’s Body Language

Shakespeare in the Theatre: Yukio Ninagawa

Conor Hanratty, Independent Scholar, Japan

What can recent developments in contemporary linguistics and language theory reveal about Shakespeare’s language in the plays? In this book, Alysia Kolentsis offers a finely-grained analysis of Shakespeare's use of language to illuminate how the common words used by characters in the plays contain significant clues about moments of interaction which are pivotal to the plots. With chapters focused on different approaches based in language theory, the author analyzes language change in Coriolanus; employs discourse analysis in her study of Troilus and Cressida; focuses on pragmatics in Richard II, and explores how Shakespeare engaged with various aspects of grammar in As You Like It.

Yukio Ninagawa (1935-2016) was Japan's foremost director of Shakespeare whose productions achieved acclaim around the world. He directed 31 productions of Shakespeare's plays, some, including Hamlet, on multiple occasions. This is the first English-language book dedicated to his work. It includes an overview of the Shakespeare plays he directed, and considers both his Shakespearean work and his productions of Euripides, including Oedipus The King and his production of Medea from 1978. Written by Conor Hanratty, who studied with Ninagawa for over a year, it offers a unique glimpse into the work of one of the world’s great theatre directors.
