Description
Marking Time: Performance, archaeology and the city explores the history of alternative theatre-making in Cardiff since the 1960s. This book takes you on five itineraries to fifty significant sites, setting performances within local contexts that reveal the character of the city.
The author weaves together personal recollections, dramatic scripts, archival records and documentary photographs to reflect on the city's history, fabric and make-up, cultural ecology and changing nature. By using performance and places as a means of study, Marking Time offers a new approach to understanding the relationship between art and urban environments.
