Description
The use of violence in theatre has long been a subject of exploration and debate. This book examines the ways in which stage combat, rape, terrorism, wrestling, and historical re-enactments are used to challenge social structures and question perceived boundaries between real and simulated violence. Through a critical analysis of these examples, Lucy Nevitt argues that performed violence can be part of a desire to create a more peaceful world. By engaging with the complexities of this issue, the book provides a thought-provoking exploration of the role of theatre in shaping our understanding of violence and its impact on society. The book is an important contribution to the study of performing arts and their relationship to social issues.
