Rethinking the Theatre of the Absurd is an innovative collection of
essays, written by leading scholars in the fields of theatre,
performance and eco-criticism, which reconfigures absurdist theatre
through the optics of ecology and environment. As well as offering
strikingly new interpretations of the work of canonical playwrights
such as Beckett, Genet, Ionesco, Adamov, Albee, Kafka, Pinter,
Shepard and Churchill, the book playfully mimics the structure of
Martin Esslin's classic text The Theatre of the Absurd, which is
commonly recognised as one of the most important scholarly
publications of the 20th century. By reading absurdist drama, for
the first time, as an emergent form of ecological theatre,
Rethinking the Theatre of the Absurd interrogates afresh the very
meaning of absurdism for 21st-century audiences, while at the same
time making a significant contribution to the development of
theatre and performance studies as a whole. The collection's
interdisciplinary approach, accessibility, and ecological focus
will appeal to students and academics in a number of different
fields, including theatre, performance, English, French, geography
and philosophy. It will also have a major impact on the new cross
disciplinary paradigm of eco-criticism.
