Why is it that in going to see plays we are also touched or moved
by them, and is there more than metaphor involved in such claims?
Considering these and other questions, this book examines a range
of contemporary performance works in which performers and their
audiences occupy a shared realm of feelings, in which the play is
not always the thing.

Theatre in the Dark: Shadow, Gloom and Blackout in Contemporary
Theatre responds to a rising tide of experimentation in theatre
practice that eliminates or obscures light. It brings together
leading and emerging practitioners and researchers in a volume
dedicated to exploring the phenomenon and showcasing a range of
possible critical and theoretical approaches. This book considers
the aesthetics and phenomenology of dark, gloomy and shadow-strewn
theatre performances, as well as the historical and cultural
significances of darkness, shadow and the night in theatre and
performance contexts. It is concerned as much with the experiences
elicited by darkness and obscured or diminished lighting as it is
with the conditions that define, frame and at times re-shape what
each might 'mean' and 'do'. Contributors provide surveys of
relevant practice, interviews with practitioners, theoretical
reflections and close critical analyses of work by key innovators
in the aesthetics of light, shadow and darkness. The book has a
particular focus on the work of contemporary theatre makers -
including Sound&Fury, David Rosenberg and Glen Neath, Lundahl
& Seitl, Extant, and Analogue - and seeks to deepen the
engagement of theatre and performance studies with what might be
called 'the sensory turn'. Theatre in the Dark explores
ground-breaking areas that will appeal to researchers,
practitioners and audiences alike.
