The Texts of Shakespeare
The Transformation of Popular Theatre to Printed Book
Stephen Orgel, Stanford University, USA
How did plays from the popular theatre, written by an author better known as a poet, become the greatest literary monument in English? Renowned Shakespearean Stephen Orgel reveals how the transformation of Shakespeare’s scripts was a triumph of both editorial intervention and marketing.
By no means the most admired playwright of his time, Shakespeare’s most popular work during his lifetime and for decades afterwards was the long poem Venus and Adonis, first published in 1593 It wasn’t until 1598 that Shakespeare’s name appeared on the title page of a book, so how did Shakespeare’s plays become the benchmark of English Renaissance drama? By examining the process of transformation from performance script to published book Orgel provides an accessible story of the making of Shakespeare’s reputation in print and of how the publication of his plays in a grand folio in 1623 made a radical claim for his plays as literature, in effect declaring his plays modern classics
With chapters on the poems, Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, King Lear, Pericles and Macbeth, this book offers a number of case studies illustrating a variety of problems of dealing with the quartos, as well as how different a ‘good’ text of a play was for Shakespeare’s readers and for modern scholars It closes with an account of the production of the first folio, which, with the precedent of the Ben Jonson folio of 1616, effectively conferred classic status on this popular dramatist

Mirrors in Shakespeare and Early Modern English Drama Power, Gender and the Magic of the Theatre
Valentina Finger, Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, Germany
Mirrors in the early modern playhouse function as figures of theatricality, reflecting gender dynamics and challenging sovereign power, in this open-access study of their use as stage props and rhetorical devices in plays by Shakespeare and his contemporaries
Valentina Finger highlights the rich complexity of mirrors and acts of mirroring on the early modern stage The case studies in this book traverse myths of monarchs and imperial mirrors in Richard II and Macbeth, explore acts of exemplary selfgovernment and court politics in Edward I and Bussy D'Ambois, constitute cosmetic mirrors as canvases for feminine selfauthorship in The Duchess of Malfi and The Devil's Charter and illuminate the interplay of scientific knowledge, magic and trick glasses in The Alchemist and A Game at Chess

Festival Shakespeares
Networking Performance Across Europe
Rowena Hawkins, Independent Researcher
Rowena Hawkins develops an analysis of the European Shakespeare Festivals Network (ESFN) as a productive, intercultural space that destabilises traditional hierarchies in theatre This book argues that ESFN performances offer audiences opportunities to rethink, rewrite and, crucially, to ‘network’ Shakespeare through active and comparative spectatorship
Hawkins explores the locations in which Shakespeare Festivals are held and the dislocations that occur when festival Shakespeares move between them, asking what it means to host a range of global Shakespeare productions in historicallysignificant locations, such as castles or reconstructed early modern theatres She considers whether festivals hosted in such sites produce different meanings for festivalgoers than those hosted in modern theatre spaces Using two audience research studies, Hawkins draws out interesting facts about what international Shakespeare festivals mean to those who attend them, what they can offer a divided Europe and how modern retellings of early modern plays influence and complicate local political contexts

Classicizing Shakespeare
Jean-François Ducis and the First European Adaptations
Michèle Willems, University of Rouen, France
This book explores the nature and wide-ranging impact of the work of Jean-François Ducis (1733-1816), the first adaptor of Hamlet and of five other Shakespeare tragedies for the French theatre
Jean-François Ducis is anything but prominent in the histories of Shakespeare adaptation, yet he was pivotal in introducing French and European audiences to Shakespeare’s plays on the stage His Hamlet, tragédie imitée de l’anglais, performed at the Comédie française in 1769, was the first representation of a Shakespeare play on a French stage and was still performed in 1851 Despite his total ignorance of English, Ducis also adapted Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, King Lear, King John and Othello, plays which were then translated, like his Hamlet, into a number of European languages
Classicizing Shakespeare studies Ducis’s Shakespearean corpusin the context of the neoclassical climate which, a century earlier, had set off a wave of adaptations in England Within the wider picture of the European representation of Shakespeare on the stage from 1660 to 1850, the study of Ducis’s emblematic case sheds further light on the rationale of these English adaptations as well as on the reception of Shakespeare’s plays in most Continental countries well into the 19th century Willems’ rich contextual study demonstrates why the translations of Ducis’s own ‘imitations’ were instrumental in exporting Shakespeare all over the Continent Through attention to the professional relationship with the renowned actor, François-Joseph Talma, Classicizing Shakespeare reveals too how collaborative practices in the theatre impact on the evolution of a text

Shakespeare and Ballet
Gender, Sexuality, Race and Politics on Stage
David Fuller, University of Durham, UK
This new and comprehensive study of Shakespearean ballets and their unique interpretive possibilities is also the first to foreground the importance of music to the aesthetics and meanings of Shakespeare dance-works
Organised around adaptations of key plays, each chapter offers close study of the contrasting interpretations and styles of a number of choreographers and illuminates issues of gender, sexuality, race and politics
While Shakespeare’s work is recreated in diverse forms in theatres all over the world, ballet is potentially one of the most international and inclusive forms of theatrical expression, based in the fundamental expressive potential of the body Since it moved into the avant-garde more than a century ago, it has been in the forefront of invention and experiment in the theatrical arts and yet the hundreds of ballets which have been based on Shakespeare’s work have received scant attention in Shakespearean scholarship and criticism
David Fuller explores a wide range of Shakespeare’s oeuvre as it has been recreated in this form, with studies of ballets based on some of his most famous works, including The Taming of the Shrew, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, the Sonnets, Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Othello, Macbeth, and The Tempest With analysis of productions from the 1940s to the present by British, American and European choreographers, it reads these as forms of creative criticism which reflect wider developments in society and in so doing show Shakespeare as perpetually contemporary

The Arden Shakespeare
Shakespeare, Race and Anglophone Popular Culture
Edited by Vanessa I Corredera, Baylor University, USA & L Monique Pittman, Andrews University, USA
This collection theorizes the intersections between race, Shakespearean adaptation and pop culture Chapters take a range of investigative approaches, some centring Shakespeare and others using Shakespeare to theorize pop culture, but all focusing on the ethical implications of the triangulation between Shakespeare, pop culture and race
Chapters explore the tensions between the ‘low’, racialized status of a pop culture form and Shakespeare’s ‘high’ status; the ways race informs a specific Shakespearean reference (in film, television, music, Young Adult literature and self-help manuals, among other forms); and the influence loop between Shakespeare and the systemic racism of creative industries, such as Hollywood and book publishing
As the analysis of race expands within Shakespeare studies, so too, this collection argues, should the archives for analyzing Shakespeare and race grow While it is now more common to consider race and embodiment in both early modern and contemporary Shakespearean performance and adaptation, pop culture remains underexplored and undertheorized As this collection demonstrates, rigorous theoretical and methodological approaches can illuminate how pop culture uses Shakespeare to uphold, contest and shape existing racial imaginaries for broad audiences

The Arden Shakespeare
Macbeth in Modern European Culture
Edited by Juan F Cerdá, University of Murcia, Spain & Paul Prescott, University of Warwick, UK
This book explores the crucial role Shakespeare’s play has performed in European culture in the long 20th century
The story of regicide, ambition, civil war and tyranny has resonated across a continent ravaged by armed conflict and riven by competing political and ideological systems Equally, the play s acute explorations of gender dynamics, mental breakdown, guilt and suicide have spoken to the psychological and interpersonal pressures of European life in the ‘Age of Extremes’
This unique book gathers expert contributors from across the continent to explore adaptations of the play from 1870-2020 Each chapter explores the fascination Macbeth has exerted in a remarkable variety of places and contexts, from Stalin’s Russia to contemporary Catalonia, from the Scottish tourist industry to the French radio airwaves Throughout, we see how European adaptors have been liberated from the demands of fidelity to the original Anglophone text From a European perspective, Macbeth offers a powerful myth that is both flawed and somehow indispensable It demands to be re-told but it also requires fixing through adaptation
This collection is distinctive in the sheer range of adaptations it considers: while the stage is represented throughout, we also learn about Macbeth on radio, in novels, in poetry, in graphic art and photography, adapted for local political and personal resonances in private such as letters and diaries, but also in the public spheres of newspaper columns and highprofile court cases Anyone who reads this book will never see the play in the same way again

Shakespeare in the Theatre: Reduced Shakespeare Company
Ronan
Hatfull, University of Warwick, UK
The first dedicated historical study of the Reduced Shakespeare Company, this book explores the troupe’s four major Shakespearean works over the past four decades
The Reduced Shakespeare Company represent an American tale of how a small-scale, open-air troupe specialising in fastpaced, irreverent reductions of prominent topics have, since their formation in 1981, gradually expanded into a global theatre brand whose first play, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged), ran continuously for nine years in London’s West End and has been translated into thirty-eight languages
Drawing on previously unexamined archival material, as well as author interviews with the company’s five key players and attendance at rehearsals and performances in America and Britain, this book stands as the first dedicated study of this other RSC, presenting a critical analysis of the company’s signature blend of audience interaction, metatheatre, parody, pop culture references, Shakespearean intertextuality and vaudevillian humour
Each chapter is arranged to address a specific period within the RSC’s history of Shakespearean adaptation, offering a detailed exposition of their four major Shakespearean works over the past four decades The book’s epilogue considers their influence and legacy, submits a blueprint for reduction and contextualises the company within the ecosystem of contemporary performance

Shakespeare in the Theatre: The Stratford Festival
Christie Carson, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK
This analysis of the Stratford Festival examines the full history of one of the largest and oldest dedicated centres for the performance of Shakespeare in North America
In English-speaking Canada, the Festival has become the unofficial national theatre, drawing both praise and criticism Dividing its history into three distinct periods, the volume begins with the foundation of the company, moving through its middle years of expansion and securing stability, and ending with an exploration of staging Shakespeare in the 21st century Through case studies of productions, covering each artistic director from Tyrone Guthrie to Antoni Cimolino, it highlights issues of national identity but also the relationship between actor and audience on the Festival’s unique thrust stage It not only explores the work of international stars such as Christopher Plummer, but also that of longstanding company members William Hutt and Martha Henry, emphasizing the Festival's collective spirit
This book argues that the Stratford Festival holds an influential position in the theatre world generally and in the Shakespeare performance environment specifically Initially this was because of the original stage built for its opening, but increasingly it has been due to the way that it has used Shakespeare’s work to articulate complex questions about identity and utilized technology to reach new audiences The Festival and its collaborative working methods grew out of a particular social and political climate, and when the actors and directors who trained at the Festival took their training and its influences elsewhere, they spread its impact

Shakespeare’s Violence and the Early Modern Spectator
Rebecca Yearling, Keele University, UK
Shakespeare's plays feature events of extreme violence Investigating the ways in which the original early modern audiences might have reacted to their scenes of violence, this volume reveals too the complex web of factors that shape our present-day responses to violence and suffering.
Drawing on a mixed methodology, Rebecca Yearling combines close textual analysis with insights from the history of emotions, early modern theatre and cultural history, performance studies and contemporary psychological research to model a new way of approaching early modern audience response
The book focuses on four key moments of violence: the rape and mutilation of Lavinia in Titus Andronicus, the beheading of Cloten in Cymbeline, the blinding of Gloucester in King Lear and the murder of Desdemona in Othello Individual chapters situate these acts within their wider contexts, exploring how the performance conditions of Shakespeare’s time and broader Renaissance discourses surrounding violence, morality and entertainment shaped audience reactions By reconstructing these layered dynamics, Yearling illuminates the deeply social nature of violent spectacle In addition, the book argues that responses to fictional violence can reveal insights into how people engage with real-world violence In both cases, viewers confront moral dilemmas about who deserves empathy and who does not, in ways that reflect underlying social values and power structures
Importantly, Yearling also looks forward, suggesting that studying early modern responses to violence can simultaneously shed light on our own In an age saturated with violent media and real-world brutality, understanding how and why audiences respond to violence as they do is both historically significant and urgently contemporary This book, therefore, is not only about Shakespeare’s audiences – it is also about us

Shakespeare’s First Folio 1623-2023
Text and Afterlives
Edited by Matthias Bauer, University of Tübingen, Germany & Angelika Zirker, University of Tübingen, Germany
This wide-ranging collection reflects on the various motivations that caused the Folio to come into being in 1623, 7 years after Shakespeare’s death, and on how the now iconic book has been continually reimagined after its initial publication to the present day
In honour of its original publication, Shakespeare’s First Folio 1623-2023: Text and Afterlives brings together a remarkable set of ground-breaking essays by an international group of scholars From the beginning, the publication that came to be called the ‘First Folio’ was defined by the tension between the book as text and the book as a material object In this volume, the individual contributions move between these two meanings in that they consider precursors to the First Folio in the form of reader-assembled volumes; the poetic identity of Shakespeare; and how misfortunes and successes in the early modern printing house shaped Shakespeare’s text
Chapters examine the unpredictable and often surprising subsequent histories of the book that has even been given a sacred status and become the basis of Shakespeare’s unique position in the history of literature They consider: the afterlife of the text, in relation to the reception of Shakespeare’s First Folio in Spain; its presence in and influence on James Joyce’s Ulysses; the role that Meisei University of Japan’s Shakespeare Collection has played in the education and research of the institution; and what the collection of 82 copies at the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, DC, tells us about the ongoing role of these books within the study of Shakespeare and the early modern period

Keywords and Concepts
John Matthews, University of Plymouth, UK
An accessible and authoritative compendium of key concepts in acting, this book reveals how the craft has been understood by the world’s leading practitioners and theorists
The idioms of acting can both delight and confound While enthusiastic theatregoers and aspiring actors may be attracted to studio slang, theorists and practitioners of the craft will argue fiercely over the meaning and use of professional terms, while academics dispute the very philosophical basis of concepts such as ‘emotion’ and ‘imagination’, ‘believability’ and ‘character ’ Acting: Keywords and Concepts is for readers from all these communities of interest and it provides a practical and reliable evidence-based account of the most significant ideas about acting in circulation today
Organized in digestible sections with pithy ‘keyword’ subheadings, this book makes key concepts easily referenceable and reveals the politics and ideologies at play in both dominant and niche acting schools and traditions, indicating how ideas and practices have developed over time as well as where acting theory and practice is heading

The Pulse Approach
Physical Improvisation for Theatre-makers and Directors
Tanya
Gerstle
How can we effectively apply improvisation to train an ensemble of actors? Where is the method to create physically dynamic staging for text-based contemporary and classical plays? And how can a trainer and a director utilise improvisation to devise new work? The Pulse Approach answers these questions and more, captured here for the first time in a workbook to the practice
Pulse is an improvisational performance strategy that can be used by actors and directors to develop original text-based performance material and rehearse dramatic scripts Director Tanya Gerstle has been developing the approach since 1989 and has used it to stage more than 25 theatre productions Through step-by-step instructions for the student and practitioner; troubleshooting advice; case studies of productions directed using the Pulse Approach; and interviews with practitioners involved, this book is the first practical guide to this innovative methodology, which has its roots in the Australian actortraining scene
The Pulse Approach fuses improvisation and text-based theatre, too often disconnected, to offer up a methodology and rigorous practice for improvisation as a holistic process of development in classical and contemporary plays

The Godot Diaries
Behind the Scenes of Beckett's Play
Lucian Msamati
A fascinating, behind-the-scenes diary account of working on a major production of Beckett’s iconic play from acclaimed actor Lucian Msamati
From his agent’s phone call offering him the role of Estragon, Lucian Msamati brings brilliantly to life the experience of costarring with Ben Whishaw in James Macdonald’s celebrated production of Waiting for Godot in London’s West End With the likes of Jonathan Slinger as Pozzo and Ben Edden as Lucky, this production has some of today’s finest theatre actors bringing new life and meaning to Beckett’s 1949 play
Through rehearsal room highs and lows, workaday laughs and tears, literal stumbles and grumbles, we journey with Lucian, his fellow actors and creatives, and Beckett’s play, sharing in the personal and dramaturgical discoveries they make and the inevitable emotional contours of an experience as intense as this one
Dance and Silence
In Conversation
Edited by Vipavinee Artpradid & Petra Johnson
The age of humans has gotten increasingly loud in terms of literal sound and environmental impact Recognising silence as a disappearing ontological value, there is grief around our loss, but there is also a greater desire for opportunities to experience silence in its various diverse forms
This book explores the critical dynamics of silence within choreography, performance and composition, comprising a series of conversations with researchers and practitioners, including choreographer Rosemary Lee, architect Richard Dougherty, architectural historian Pérez-Gómez, Natural Horn player Isaac Shieh, neuroscientist Tony Steffert and drummer and aerialist Jonny Leitch
Ultimately, we come to see how dance, embodied modes of inquiry and corporeal-based understandings within socio-cultural and ecological contexts can propose pathways in the absence of sound
Dancing Freedom
Modern Dance in Late Imperial Russia and the Early Soviet Union
Irina Sirotkina, National Research University Higher School of Economics, Russia
For a long time, dance scholars and the public were hardly aware that modern dance existed in Russia This book, however, delves into its presence, significance and survival in the late Tsarist and Soviet era, showing the large and significant positive contribution this made to the history of modern dance
A creation of liberal body politics, ‘free’ or ‘modern’ dance flourished in late Imperial Russia and the early Soviet Union, before the hardening of communist regimes An ideal embodiment of emancipation, free dance attracted dancers and audiences, including a significant number of modernist artists and intellectuals
This book looks in particular at Isadora Duncan and her impact on Stanislavsky's methods, as well as on the ballet choreographer Michel Fokine It throws light on Duncan’s Moscow School, biomechanics and many modern dance studios of the time, their role in creating new systems of training – different from ballet – and their creation of a modern dance 'body'
We come to see free dance into the years of Stalin's Cultural Revolution, where choreographers had to adapt to the new ideological environment – a far cry from the previous freedom of modern dance

Mura Dehn
Champion of Black Social Dance and the Traditional Jazz Dance Company
Kim Chandler Vaccaro
This book tells the relatively unknown story of Mura Dehn (1902- 1987) a white, Jewish dancer from Russia, once deemed among the most beautiful classical dancers in Europe, who emigrated to the United States in the 1930s
For the first time the efforts of Dehn to record, analyse and champion the development of jazz dance in America during the 1930s, 40s and 50s are brought to life The book celebrates and explores her long-term commitment to supporting and nurturing Black American jazz dancers, and devoting her life to heralding and chronicling its innovators and creators through performance, teaching and film-making
This work includes both first-hand accounts with people who knew and worked with Dehn, including her company manager Allen Blitz, friend Eiko Otake, and notable urban dance scholars such as Sally Sommer; and material from Dehn’s archival collection in the New York Public Library

Adaptation in Musical Theatre positions musical theatre as part of a broader cultural trend of recycling, referencing, remixing and alluding to existing creative works and texts Despite critics often dismissing stage adaptations as lazy and safe bet options for producers, this book argues that crafting an adaptation enables creative teams to take fresh and imaginative approaches to a source text, given the multitude of ways in which the structures and styles of two (or more) different media can be combined
From Les Misérables to Wicked, by way of Legally Blonde and Fun Home, this lively book addresses several modern musicals, each adapted from a different type of source – including fiction, film and graphic novels – and each offering a different approach to adapting existing work
Published in Methuen Drama's Topics in Musical Theatre series, this book offers students a concise and readable study of a key and ever-evolving forms within musical theatre studies using relevant and contemporary case studies
Latinidad in Musical Theatre
Stefan Sittig
Short introductory books on significant theories, concepts, forms, and elements of musical theatre
Latinidad in Musical Theatre offers an accessible exploration of the substantial contribution of Latine artists, specifically via music, dance, and choreography to the last century of the American Musical from Carmen Miranda to Lin-Manuel Miranda
Latine artists, music and dance have been influencing musical theatre since the early 1900s, but it’s only in the last 50 years or so that Latine artists have been able to fully contribute to the art form, not just via appropriation or stereotype, but by owning their own narrative, creatively and intellectually This volume takes a survey approach that builds on case studies ranging from classic musicals West Side Story and Bye, Bye, Birdie through to the contemporary musicals In The Heights and Hamilton As well as considering the shows themselves it also unpacks the careers and contributions of Latine artists such as Chita Rivera and Graciela Daniele
Published in Methuen Drama's Topics in Musical Theatre series, this volume is perfect for students of musical theatre and those wishing to deepen their appreciation of the artform

Matching Minds with Sondheim
The Puzzles and Games of the Broadway Legend
Barry Joseph
By near-universal consensus, Stephen Sondheim was the greatest musical theater composer of his generation celebrated, among other things, for the wit, sophistication, and intricacy of shows from West Side Story to Sunday in the Park with George But a less well-known avenue for his brilliance was his lifelong fascination with designing and constructing intricate puzzles and games, from treasure hunts to crosswords to parlor and board games
Matching Minds with Sondheim is a journey into this rich but largely unmapped aspect of the composer ’s creative life, illuminating how Sondheim’s playful designs delivered moments of clarity and connection for friends, colleagues, and anyone who’s ever been captivated by his genius This book opens, for the first time, the door into what Sondheim called his “puzzler s mind, helping readers to better understand the man, his work, and if they accept the challenge themselves Gaming expert Barry Joseph draws from over eighty years of Sondheim’s activities, including extremely rare and neverpublicly-seen puzzles and game designs, scores of original interviews with the celebrity friends who played them, archival deep dives, and illuminating analysis from both puzzle designers and theater professionals from around the world Packed with illustrations and insights, this book does more than describe Sondheim’s life in puzzles: It allows readers to match minds with the maestro by attempting to solve his puzzles and bring Sondheimian games into their own homes

Opening Doors
Reimagining the American Musical
John Doyle
“In this honest, self reflective piece, John so beautifully and succinctly shares of his experience in theatre and the passion with which he pursues the opportunity to create art that is connective tissue for humanity and a reflection of the time we live in ” (Cynthia Erivo, Tony, Grammy and Emmy Award-winning star of Wicked)
Director John Doyle is an unlikely revolutionary Described by critics as 'the saviour of the Broadway musical', the 'amazing Mr Musicals' and 'the man who changed the face of the American musical', his name alone has become synonymous with a style of reinvention that has opened doors to what commercial musical theatre can be in the 21st century
In his first book Doyle reflects on the 50-year theatrical journey taken by a boy who never dreamt it could happen to him Through simply working at his craft and trying to earn a living he gained a reputation for thinking outside of the box and is credited with helping create a new art form – that of actor-musician led musical theatre
From the Highlands of Scotland to prestigious regional theatres and Broadway, he has achieved multiple Tony Awards thanks to revolutionary productions of Sweeney Todd, Company and The Color Purple This reflective yet practical book tracks a rich and celebrated journey in theatre from one of its most important and recognized contemporary artists

Arthur Miller ’s New York Visions of the City
Stephen Marino, Formerly of St Francis College, Brooklyn, USA
Take a tour of New York City as inspiration, place and context in the work of America's greatest playwright of the 20th century, brought to life with images from Miller's time and today
Readers of the work of Arthur Miller will be familiar with the presence of NYC in much of his work In Arthur Miller's New York Stephen Marino offers a rich, panoramic study of NYC across all of Miller's oeuvre, exploring how Miller transformed the defining experiences of his youth and early adulthood – formed on the streets and in the neighborhoods of the New York boroughs of Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens – into art
A crucial component of his creative DNA, NYC figures prominently in Miller's dramatic work: Death of a Salesman, A Memory of Two Mondays, A View From the Bridge, After the Fall, The Price, The American Clock, The Ride Down Mt Morgan, Broken Glass, and Mr Peter ’s Connections all have settings in which the characters’ interactions with the cityscape significantly determine the events of the plays
An evocative set of images from Miller's times and from the present period bring the character of New York City into sharp relief and trace its evolution over a century of change

Theatre and Race
Harvey Young, Boston College, USA
Theatre and Race centers on the interrelationship of the words on either side of the ampersand It offers an accessible overview of how race is performed and how western theatrical practice has wrestled with the topic, question, and “problem” of racial difference over centuries
This study introduces critical and theoretical concepts to account for how the simple act of being attentive to the seeming “otherness” of another person within the expressive arts, as well as in everyday life, invites an engagement with the social history and lived experience of race
In addition, it spotlights the long history of race and racial concerns within the theatre: the xenophobic fascination of ancient Greeks and Romans, the anxiety caused by cultural and religious difference during the Elizabethan period, the intense and widespread appeal of blackface minstrelsy alongside the performances of other “faces” in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the controversies related to colorblind casting practices toward the end of the last century, and recent campaigns for and against antiracist and post-race theatre
This updated and revised edition includes new material by Harvey Young addressing Theatre and Race in 2024 and beyond

Non-professional theatre practice has been largely neglected due to deeply rooted prejudice about its aesthetic standards: a prejudice whose origins can be traced back to influential thinkers in the 18th century Although it was a massive phenomenon in Europe around 1800, amateur theatre has been overshadowed by professional theatre through a privileging of literary and canonical perspectives in the writing of history This book argues that amateur theatricals contributed to mainstreaming key concepts of aesthetic education and identity building, as well as establishing educative and aesthetic concepts of bourgeois theatre
Amateur theatres not only provide their audiences with an aesthetic experience, they also give their members the opportunity to become involved in social gatherings and performative schemes of self-learning and self-education During the late Enlightenment, amateur theatres became an important medium to practice and promote concepts of citizenship and the idea of theatre as a key educational factor in society Focusing on German-speaking amateur theatricals, with regard to a larger frame of European cultural history, this study investigates how citizen identities were shaped and consolidated through amateur performance practices on page, on stage and behind the scenes

Performing Modernity
Culture and Experiment in the Irish Free State
Elaine Sisson, Institute of Art, Design and Technology, Dublin, Ireland
This book is an exploration of metropolitan bohemian and counter-cultural movements in theatre, design and popular culture in the Irish Free State.
Were there flappers in Ireland? Was there really a Cabaret Club in Dublin in 1926? Using photographs, theatre and costume designs, letters, newspaper accounts, novels and other historical sources, Performing Modernity? offers a wholly new perspective on metropolitan life in the Irish Free State where people listen to jazz and go dancing, watch German Expressionist theatre, are interested in Soviet design, and attend pageants, cabarets and fancy dress balls
The early years of Irish independence are often characterised as isolated and conservative as the country recovered from the effects of the Civil War This book argues that there was also ambition and optimism among the citizens of the new State as they embraced the promise of modernity in theatre, film and popular culture during the 1920s and 1930s

The Theatre of Laura Wade
Henry Bell, University of the West of Scotland, UK & Sophie Bush, Sheffield Hallam University, UK
This is the first full-length exploration of the work of Laura Wade, providing critical and performance perspectives on one of the UK’s most frequently staged female playwrights
Throughout the volume, key creative practitioners add rehearsal room insight, alongside the perspective of Laura Wade herself and a foreword by Tamara Harvey, Co-Artistic Director of the Royal Shakespeare Company Regular collaborators Harvey, Katherine Parkinson, Lyndsey Turner and Samuel West provide perspectives on Wade’s work, including the Olivier Award-winning Home, I’m Darling, the frequently staged Alice and her inventive adaptation of The Watsons Actor Natalie Dormer also provides new insights which connect together Posh and the subsequent film adaptation, The Riot Club
Teachers, lecturers and theatre-makers are given resources to explore Wade’s plays in detail, including Posh, with key thoughts from the original production’s director as well as Cressida Carré, director of the first all-female staging in 2017
Those working with the increasingly popular early plays, Breathing Corpses, Colder than Here and Other Hands, have access to fresh scholarship deconstructing the narrative ingenuity and dark themes contained within Each chapter draws attention to a range of international and performance contexts from which the plays can be explored
Kunqu
China’s Classical Song-drama
Kim Hunter Gordon, Duke Kunshan University, China
From its origins in the poetic tradition and its refinement in the southern salons of the 16th century, to its 18thcentury theatrical heyday and patriotic revival in modern times, this book introduces Kunqu and its enduring role in shaping cultural life
The rich body of drama and poetry associated with Kunqu has often been studied independently of its performance history By contrast, this book places stage practice and singing at the centre Kunqu treats poetry and music as inseparable: the tonal and prosodic qualities of Chinese words and the melodies that carry them are mutually dependent
From Ming gardens and rowdy Qing playhouses to the Manchu imperial court, Republican singing societies, and online forums today, debates over how Kunqu should be sung have never ceased Hunter Gordon shows how these debates provide a model for understanding the genre as a whole: just as its vocal delivery has always been contested, so too has its staging
With a repertoire that remains relatively stable, Kunqu is marked by tensions of interpretation and orthodoxy that place enormous weight on the fine details of performance, making it one of the world’s most dynamic performance traditions
Performing Presidents
The Star Power of Reagan, Trump, and Zelensky
Maria Berlova, Independent scholar, USA
This book centers on the prominent 20th- and 21st-century populist leaders Ronald Reagan, Donald Trump, and Volodymyr Zelensky It explores how such figures transitioned from theatrical engagements to the presidency, including how their political life was reframed as a theatrical event
This book reveals the various ways these presidents approached political performance and incorporated entertainment elements into it in order to shift the norms of political representation and disrupt communication modes It further explores how these populist figures personalized and fictionalized their presidential role by means of storytelling and the bodily enactment of their myth
In contrast to the methodology of TV entertainment used in Reagan’s era, modern technology has permitted Trump and Zelensky to embrace an innovative ‘distributed aesthetics’ approach Owing to its virtual nature, this technique transcends spatial and temporal limitations, while simultaneously rendering celebrity presence ubiquitous and exaggerating the illusion of intimacy between ruler and populace

One Public New York’s Public Theater in the Era of Oskar Eustis
Kevin Landis, University Of Colorado, Colorado Springs, USA
Since its founding by Joseph Papp in the 1950s, The Public Theater has been an American artistic leader defined by its breadth of programming, from Hair and A Chorus Line, to Free Shakespeare in the Park With the recent critical and financial success of Fun Home and Hamilton, and its emphasis on new play development, The Public’s contemporary history has been equally remarkable, even as world crises and social changes have tested the mettle of its foundation of accessible and “radically inclusive” theatre for all
Case-study driven, One Public uses oral history accounts and authorial experience to illuminate The Public Theater, Eustis and their cultural influence on the city of New York and the greater United States The story highlights the successes and challenges of an institution at once espousing a mission of inclusivity and community-based arts creation, while also developing Broadway hits and international fame

Performance Pedagogy
Objects, Transfers, Formations
Edited by Felipe Cervera, Diana Damian Martin, Eero Laine & Theron Schmidt
What does it mean to teach an ephemeral object like ‘performance’? And what might the teaching of performance have to offer to other kinds of teaching and learning in a changing world? Through posing and seeking to answer these questions, this open-access book urges a reconsideration of the relationship between performance and pedagogy These questions are urgent in the light of profound changes, both institutional and historical, in the larger scope of higher education and the place performance may have in that setting and its peripheries
The book features a unique construction - "interstitial exchanges" - wherein the authors of each chapter pose provocations and responses to each other through short essays between the main chapters, connecting the disparate objects of performance pedagogy and offering dialogues In this way, the volume opens conversations beyond performance studies, asking what performance might have to say about the objects all around us that shape our lives in the 21st century

The Methuen Drama Handbook of Gender and Theatre
Edited by Sean Metzger, University of California, Los Angeles, USA & Roberta Mock, Royal Holloway University of London, UK
Shortlisted for the 2024 TaPRA Edited Collection Prize
This is a guide to contemporary debates and theatre practices at a time when gender paradigms are both in flux and at the centre of explosive political battlegrounds
As this handbook demonstrates, from the conventions of early modern English, Chinese, Japanese and Hispanic theatres to the subversion of racialized binaries of masculinity and femininity in recent North American, African, Asian, Caribbean and European productions, the matter of gender has consistently taken centre stage This handbook examines how critical discourses on gender intersect with key debates in the field of theatre studies, as a lens to illuminate the practices of gender and theatre as well as the societies they inform and represent across space and time
This book demonstrates how researchers are currently addressing theatre about gender issues and gendered theatre practices This collection offers interpretations and analyses that do not simply look back at existing scholarship, but open up new possibilities and understandings Featuring essential research tools, including a survey of keywords and an annotated play list, this is an indispensable scholarly handbook for anyone working in theatre and performance

I've Got the Shakes
Performing Richard Foreman
Shauna Kelly, Actor, Tokyo
No single artist better embodied the spirit of experimental, “downtown” theater than Richard Foreman, one of the most important theater-makers of the last century
Beginning in 1968 with his founding of the Ontological-Hysteric Theater, Foreman helped to redefine the landscape of American theatre, writing and directing plays at the breakneck pace of one every year, creating a vast body of work that has expanded our understanding of what theatre can do and be
I've Got the Shakes: Performing Richard Foreman offers a peek behind the curtain at the creative process of one of the most idiosyncratic theater-makers in history, along with the innumerable actors and other artists who helped bring his vision to the stage Combining oral histories, written recollections, directorial notes, and other never-before-seen material including four interviews conducted with Foreman from 2015 to 2022 it reveals what has drawn so many to his plays, the demands required of performers to bring his elaborate productions to life, and the restless, searching philosophy that animated all of his work
Interviewees/contributors include: Richard Foreman, Willem Dafoe, James Urbaniak (Venture Brothers, Oppenheimer), David Patrick Kelly (John Wick I & II, 2024 production of Enemy of the People, Twin Peaks), Colleen Werthmann (Emmynominated writer, The Daily Show), and Patricia Ybarra (Professor and Chair of the Department of Theatre, Brown University)
The Essential Guide to Doing the School Play And Not Screwing It Up
Jason Hanlan, Former Head of Performing Arts
I don't know much about drama – how do I go about choosing the 'right' show for my students?
Our school has a wide range of backgrounds and abilities – how can I ensure fairness for all in the production?
I barely have any time to spare – how can I rehearse this every week?
My school has no budget for a production, how can I make our production pay for itself?
Given how daunting it can feel to be charged with putting on a school play, this book is essential for teachers new to school shows and a valuable aid for the more experienced It serves as an invaluable guide to producing work from all-time favourite blockbusters (such as Grease and Oliver!) to more obscure straight plays and comedies

Feminism, Dramaturgy, and the Contemporary British History Play
Rebecca Benzie, University of York, UK
When we think of the contemporary British history play, why might we automatically think of playwrights such as David Hare, Howard Brenton, Peter Gill and Edward Bond? Because for decades the writing of the history play has been the preserve of the white male.
This book provides a vital feminist intervention into the dramaturgy of history plays, investigating work produced at major British theatres from 2000 to the present, written by a generation of innovative women playwrights
This much-needed study explores the use of history – specifically Elizabethan, Restoration, Victorian and early 20th century – in contemporary playwriting in order to interrogate the gender politics of this work Within the framework of contemporary feminism – including the pivotal #MeToo movement – the book looks at post-2000s feminist drama that somehow represents the past
Through delving into the recurring tropes and their politics in the light of current feminist debate, the author helps us grasp how these plays essentially re-imagine gender politics Plays that are considered include Emilia (Morgan Lloyd Malcolm), Swive [Elizabeth] (Ella Hickson), An August Bank Holiday Lark (Deborah McAndrew), The Empress (Tanika Gupta), Red Velvet (Lolita Chakrabarti), Scuttlers (Rona Munro), I, Joan (Charlie Josephine), Blue Stockings and Nell Gwynn (Jessica Swale), and the musical Six (Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss)

Staging Systemic Violence
British Theatre 2010-2019
Alex Watson
This study offers a historicization of the 2010s in British theatre with a focus on the representation of systemic violence, exploring productions that engage with concerns of protest, climate crisis, neoliberalism, racism and gender-based violence
It offers a range of case studies from established and emergent playwrights such as Caryl Churchill, Martin McDonagh, Anders Lustgarten, Lucy Kirkwood, Ella Hickson, Jasmine Lee-Jones, debbie tucker green, Zinnie Harris, and Travis Alabanza Productions of their work in the 2010s are analysed through a framework of cultural theory, philosophy, and theatre and performance studies that offer insightful conceptions of violence and performativity
Central to this book is the belief that theatre has the ability to depict issues of systemic violence in thoughtful and valuable ways, drawing on the medium's specific relations between creatives, texts, spectatorship and audiences to mindfully engage participants in the most pressing societal and cultural concerns of their time
