Howard Barker and The Wrestling School have been seen as marginal
to the major concerns of British theatre, problematic in their
staging and challenging in the ideas they explore. Yet Barker's
writing career spans six decades, he is the only living writer to
have been accorded an entire season with the Royal Shakespeare
Company, and The Wrestling School produces theatre of such a
striking quality that it earned continuous Arts Council funding for
nearly 20 years. Wrestling with Catastrophe challenges existing
ways of reading Barker's theatre practice and plays and provides
new ways into his work. It brings together conversations with
theatre makers from in and outside The Wrestling School, with
first-hand accounts of the company's practice, and a selection of
critical readings. The book's combining of testimony from key
Wrestling School practitioners with alternative practical
perspectives, and with analysis by both established and emerging
scholars, ensures that a spectrum of understanding emerges that is
rich in both breadth and depth. In its consideration of the full
range of Barker's aesthetic concerns - including text, direction,
design, acting, narrative form, poetry, appropriation, painting,
photography, electronic media, technology, puppetry, and theatre
space - the volume makes a radical re-evaluation of Barker's
theatre possible.
