To call something modern is to assert something fundamental about
the social, cultural, economic and technical sophistication of that
thing, over and against what has come before. A Cultural History of
Theatre in the Modern Age provides an interdisciplinary overview of
theatre and performance in their social and material contexts from
the late 19th century through the early 2000s, emphasizing key
developments and trends that both exemplify and trouble the various
meanings of the term 'modern', and the identity of modernist
theatre and performance. Highly illustrated with 40 images, the ten
chapters each take a different theme as their focus: institutional
frameworks; social functions; sexuality and gender; the environment
of theatre; circulation; interpretations; communities of
production; repertoire and genres; technologies of performance; and
knowledge transmission.
