Theatre and History - Paperback

by Rebecca Schneider (Author), Margherita Laera (Editor), Natalie Alvarez (Editor)

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.
