Description:
Theory/Theatre is a groundbreaking introduction to the application and relation of literary theory to theatre. The only volume of this kind, Theory/Theatre explores theatre from nine theoretical perspectives: semiotics; phenomenology; deconstruction; psychoanalysis; feminism and gender theory; reader-response; materialism; postmodernism; and post- colonialism. Fortier demonstrates wide-ranging knowledge of the different schools of theoretical discussion, resulting in a lucid and comprehensive introductory reader.
Expand description
Fortier draws upon a wide range of theatrical examples, ranging from Shakespeare and Aphra Behn to a variety of modern plays and performances including Chekhov, Brecht, Churchill, and Angels in America. Theory/Theatre is essential for a richer understanding of the relationship between theory and theatre.
