Why do so many writers and audiences turn to theatre to resolve
overwhelming topics of pain and suffering? This collection of
essays from international scholars reconsiders how theatre has
played a crucial part in encompassing and preserving significant
human experiences. Plays about global issues, including terrorism
and war, are increasing in attention from playwrights, scholars,
critics and audiences. In this contemporary collection, a gathering
of diverse contributors explain theatre's special ability to
generate dialogue and promote healing when dealing with human
tragedy. This collection discusses over 30 international plays and
case studies from different time periods, all set in a backdrop of
war. The four sections document British and American perspectives
on theatres of war, global perspectives on theatres of war,
perspectives on Black Watch and, finally, perspectives on The Great
Game: Afghanistan. Through this, a range of international scholars
from different disciplines imaginatively rethink theatre's unique
ability to mediate the impacts and experiences of war. Featuring
contributions from a variety of perspectives, this book provides a
wealth of revealing insights into why authors and audiences have
always turned to the unique medium of theatre to make sense of war.
