Carnival Texts by James Macdonald

This book comprises three related dramatic works, all of which use Russian theorist Mikhail Bakhtin's concept of carnival, a literary style designed to subvert dominant assumptions through chaos and humour. The texts blur the distinction between spectator and performer in an exploration of physical, moral and cultural upheaval in a postmodern age.
Author of 40 plays. Commissioned by Exeter Council/Exeter Arts Centre to write a 60-strong community play on the city's experience of World War II. Written otherwise for the Soho Theatre, BAC, Edinburgh Fringe, various other venues and companies
