Acts of Dramaturgy : The Shakespeare Trilogy

performance.A rich and thought-provoking text that has the potential to move the dialogue on dramaturgy forward both among practitioners and academics. It is a fresh, intellectually invigorating read; the change of perspective and the playful structure that brings a recognisable five-act dramatic structure and academic elaboration together keeps readers focused and guides them through the book. Very conscious of its own unorthodox format - a combination of script and reflection, by a variety of voices - which is certainly part of the freshness of the book and part of its appeal.Primary readership will be among practitioners, academics and researchers in the field of dramaturgy, teaching, devising, writing for performance and non-linear narrative; performance students making or reflecting on their own devised performance work; postgraduate students who are engaged in making practice as research.Also of relevance and interest to makers and scholars of theatre and performance, alongside those interested in

creative critical writing; to those interested in how we make, and reflect on, theatre and performance; those interested in contemporary dramaturgy and embedded criticism; and those studying theatre and performance, and interdisciplinary practice research. [Publisher's text]
