This urgent and provocative study explores contemporary Shakespeare
performance to bring a sense of theatre as technology into view.
Rather than merely using technologies, the theatre's distinctively
intermedial character is essential to its complex technicity; the
changing function of gesture and costume, of written documents in
the making of performance, of light and sound, and of the interplay
of live and recorded acting complicate the sense of theatre as a
medium. In a series of probing discussions, Worthen interrogates
the interaction of live and mediated acting onstage, the impact of
written media from the handwritten scroll to the small-screen app
in acting as a techne, the work of Original Practices as an
interactive modern theatre technology, the economies of theatrical
immersion, and the consequences of an emerging algorithmic theatre,
providing a richly theoretical reading of the stakes of theatre as
an always-emerging technology.
