Theatrical characters' dual existence on stage and in text presents
a unique, challenging case for the analytical philosopher. Analytic
Philosophy and the World of the Play re-examines the ontological
status of theatre and its fictional objects through the "possible
worlds" thesis, arguing that theatre is not a mirror of our world,
but a re-creation of it. Taking a fresh look at theatre's key
elements, including the hotly contested relationships between
character and actor; onstage and offstage "worlds"; and the
play-text and performance, Michael Y. Bennett presents a radical
new way of understanding the world of the play.
