Theatre and History by Rebecca Schneider
This provocative book meets the supposedly 'live' practices of performance and the 'no-longer-live' historical past at their own dangerous crossroads. Focussing on the 'and' of the title, it addresses the tangled relations between the terms, practices, ideas, and aims embedded in these compatriot - but often oppositional - arts and acts of time.
"Coherent and clear, each of the sections illuminates the relationship between theatre and history in a different but always convincing and engaging mannerAn attractive text for anyone interested in putting this relationship into perspective, ideal for beginning or more advanced students." - Marvin Carlson, Sidney E. Cohn Distinguished Professor of Theatre, Comparative Literature and Middle Eastern Studies, City University of New York, USA 'The clear, playful authority of the volume leaves readers simultaneously eager for Schneider's next book and inspired to expand the interdisciplinary dimensions of their own work.' - Glenn Odom, Roehampton University, UK
