Theatre and Cancer by Brian Lobel

Theatre and Cancer by Brian Lobel

This incisive and thoughtful new title in the Theatre And series confronts the difficult relationship between theatre and cancer. Challenging conventional narratives which rely on the binary of tragedy versus survival, Brian Lobel argues for an alternative approach to understanding cancer in relation to theatre.

A thoughtful and sensitive introduction to a very challenging topic, Lobel’s engaging and accessible writing makes this a must-read for students and scholars interested in performance, disability and illness* Shaun May, University of Kent, UK *
