Description
Theorizing Practice Redefining Theatre History by P. Holland and W.B. Worthen
This collection of essays brings together leading figures in theatre history studies to challenge current approaches and practices. They explore the boundaries of historical inquiry, questioning how national, sexual, and racial identities shape our understanding of theatre's past, as well as the role of non-textual forms of performance. The book examines the intersections between theatre and other forms of commodification, and considers the work of performance at the limits of human experience. By interrogating these topics, Holland and Worthen aim to redefine the field of theatre history studies and offer new perspectives on its practice and significance.Related Products
