Theatricality (Theatre and Performance Theory) - Book Reviews,
by Tracy C. Davis (Editor), Thomas Postlewait (Editor)
Theatricality FROM THE PUBLISHER This collection of essays explores the changing connotations of "theatricality" for theatrical performance and everyday life. Six case studies, each written by a specialist in the field, use historically specific circumstances to illustrate how explanations of theatricality relate to political and cultural issues ranging from contemorary gender theory to Confucian philosophy, anti-theatrical prejudices, aesthetics of realism and politicized spectacle. This book establishes the terms of debates for theatricality's place within performance theory.
