Description
The relationship between theatre and time has been a profound one throughout history. This account explores how different concepts of time have impacted on and been reinforced by theatre, from medieval times to the present day. The book examines the ways in which linear clock time, cyclical time, bodily rhythms, and individual memories have influenced theatrical practices. It reveals how these concepts have evolved over time, shaping the way we think about performance and its relationship to the world around us. By tracing the development of this complex relationship, Theatre and Time offers a unique insight into the evolution of theatre as an art form.
