Description
Ghosts, Death's Double and the Phenomena of Theatre by Alice Rayner explores the concept of ghostly doubles in theatre, examining how stagecraft can turn familiar elements into something uncanny. Rayner considers how objects connect past to present through the sense of touch, and how props are suspended backstage between motion and meaning. She also looks at the curtain as theatre's means for attempting to divide real and imaginary worlds.
