It investigates the opportunities theatre affords to reflect on the end of life in a compelling and socially meaningful fashion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn a series of interrelated, mostly chronological, micronarratives beginning in the late nineteenth century and ending in the early twenty-first century, this book considers how and why death and dying are represented at certain historical moments using dramaturgy and aesthetics that challenge audiences’ conceptions, sensibilities, and sense-making faculties. It includes a mix of well-known and lesser-known plays from an international range of dramatists and theatre-makers, and offers original interpretations through close reading and performance analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54250069688664,"sku":"9781526191236","price":31.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781526191236_d299fe4e-092e-4e64-a381-ab18fbec3a41.jpg?v=1777882546","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/death-in-modern-theatre-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
