How do audiences look at actors in costume onstage? How does
costume shape theatrical identity and form bodies? What do
audiences wear to the theatre? This lively and cutting-edge book
explores these questions, and engages with the various theoretical
approaches to the study of actors in performance. Aoife Monks
focuses in particular on the uncanny ways in which costume and the
actor's body are indistinguishable in the audience's experience of
a performance. From the role of costume in Modernist theatre to the
actor's position in the fashion system, from nudity to stage
ghosts, this wide-ranging exploration of costume, and its
histories, argues for the centrality of costume to the spectator's
experience at the theatre. Drawing on examples from paintings,
photographs, live performances, novels, reviews, blogs and plays,
Monks presents a vibrant analysis of the very peculiar work that
actors and costumes do on the stage.
