It demonstrates how modernist impulses spark contemporary theatre in dynamic ways, continuing the modernist imperative to 'make it new' and to engage meaningfully with the complicated situation of living in the contemporary world. A diverse set of contributions from scholars and theatre practitioners examines the legacy of modernism on the world stage in acts of remembrance, restaging, transmission and slippage. It investigates both well-known and less familiar aspects of modernist theatre history, engaging topics such as the revival of the first Black American musical, feminist and disability-led reinterpretations of canonical modernist plays, the use of modernist-inspired performance practice in contemporary university arts education and the continually contested meaning and importance of the avant-garde.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 244mmItem Length: 170mmContributor: Adrian Curtin (Edited by), Nicholas Johnson (Edited by), Naomi Paxton (Edited by), Claire Warden (Edited by)Genre: Literary CriticismTopic: Music Dance & TheatreBook Series: Edinburgh Companions to Literature and the HumanitiesAuthor: Adrian Curtin, Nicholas Johnson, Naomi Paxton, Claire WardenISBN-10: 1474495044Type: Drama & DramatistsRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
