基本説明
New in paperback. Hardcover was published in 2006. Shows that modernist theatre, understood sometimes as a medium, sometimes as trope, reconfigures the relationships between 'actors' and 'audiences' and subjects each and even aspect of theatrical representation to question from a variety of perspectives, including aesthetic, political, legal and technical ones.
Full Description
Against Theatre shows that the most prominent writers of modern drama shared a radical rejection of the theatre as they knew it. Together with designers, composers and film makers, they plotted to destroy all existing theatres. But from their destruction emerged the most astonishing innovations of modernist theatre.
