Theatre, Time and Temporality : Melting Clocks and Snapped Elastics

Theatre, Time and Temporalityis the first book-length exploration of the subject of temporality within theatre and performance. David Ian Rabey brings in sources ranging from medieval and Renaissance theatre to contemporary performances - in addition to recent writings from physics, philosophy and psychology - to analyse ways that time can be presented, communicated and transformed in the theatre. How do we experience time in theatre, and how can that experience be altered or manipulated? Rabey's analysis and exploration will spark discussion among students and scholars of drama, as well as among practicing performers and dramatic writers. [Publisher's text]
