Theatre is often said to offer unique insights into the nature of
reality, but this obscures the reality of theatre itself. In Real
Theatre, Paul Rae takes a joined-up approach to the realities of
theatre to explain why performances take the forms they do, and
what effects they have. Drawing on examples ranging from Phantom of
the Opera and Danny Boyle's Frankenstein, to the performances of
the Wooster Group and arthouse director Tsai Ming-liang, he shows
how apparently discrete theatrical events emerge from dynamic and
often unpredictable social, technical and institutional
assemblages. These events then enter a process of cultural
circulation that, as Rae explains, takes many forms: fleeting
conversations, the mercurial careers of theatrical characters and
the composite personae of actors, and high-profile products like
the Hollywood movie Birdman. The result is a real theatre that
speaks of, and to, the idiosyncratic and cumulative experience of
every theatre participant.
