In Acts of Resistance in Late-Modernist Theatre, Richard Murphet
presents a close analysis of the theatre practice of two
ground-breaking artists - Richard Foreman and Jenny Kemp - active
over the late twentieth and the early twenty-first century. In
addition, he tracks the development of a form of 'epileptic'
writing over the course of his own career as writer/director.
Murphet argues that these three auteurs have developed subversive
alternatives to the previously dominant forms of dramatic realism
in order to re-think the relationship between theatre and reality.
They write and direct their own work, and their artistic
experimentation is manifest in the tension created between their
content and their form. Murphet investigates how the works are
made, rather than focusing upon an interpretation of their meaning.
Through an examination of these artists, we gain a deeper
understanding of a late modernist paradigm shift in theatre
practice.
