Playing for Time: Stories of Lost Children, Ghosts and the Endangered Present in Contemporary Theatre

Playing for Time: Stories of Lost Children, Ghosts and the Endangered Present in Contemporary Theatre by Geraldine Cousin
English | 2007 | ISBN: 0719061970 | 208 Pages | PDF | 663.08 KB

Playing for Time explores connections between theatre time, the historical moment and fictional time. Geraldine Cousin persuasively argues that a crucial characteristic of contemporary British theatre is its preoccupation with instability and danger, and traces images of catastrophe and loss in a wide range of recent plays and productions. The diversity of the texts that are examined is a major strength of the book. In addition to plays by contemporary dramatists, Cousin analyses staged adaptations of novels, and productions of plays by Euripides, Strindberg and Priestley.
