The notion of the sacred has long informed the work of British
dramatists like Harold Pinter and Tom Stoppard. Ralph Yarrow's
"Sacred Theatre" is the first book to examine the role of the
sacred in the practice, process, and performance of drama. While
leaving enough room for the personal and experiential, Yarrow draws
on concepts from sociology, anthropology, and critical theory as
well as analytical readings of plays and performance events to
examine how theater interacts with the otherworldly. This volume is
essential reading for anyone intrigued by the intersection of drama
and consciousness. "This book takes on the enormous task of
identifying not only the sacred in theatre but also questions ideas
of sacred across the spectrum. It offers a great deal of material
for discussion within performance and theatre theory
courses."--Jade Rosina McCutcheon, Department of Theatre and Dance,
University of California, Davis
