Howard Barker"s Theatre of Seduction (repost)

Howard Barker"s Theatre of Seduction by Charles Lamb


English | 1997 | ISBN: 3718658844 | 168 pages | PDF | 4,5 MB

The author begins with an illuminating comparison of Barker with Edward Bond, revealing what he perceives as being their almost diametrically opposed concepts about the function of drama. Charles Lamb then looks at Barker against the world of deconstruction and postmodern thought, which leads to the author"s unique Theory of Seduction, in which Barker"s plays (in particular Judith and the Castle) are considered from an angle derived from Baudrillard"s ideas about seduction. Nine of Howard Barker"s striking pen and wash drawings are reproduced in The Shape of Darkness, including five in color.


The key study of the British playwright Howard Barker arose from Charles Lamb"s realization that current performance theories and production techniques are not appropriate to the plays of Howard Barker.

The Greek Sense of Theatre: Tragedy and Comedy, 3 edition

J Michael Walton, "The Greek Sense of Theatre: Tragedy and Comedy, 3 edition"


English | ISBN: 1138857319, 1138857335 | 2015 | 184 pages | PDF | 2 MB

In this updated and extended edition of The Greek Sense of Theatre, scholar and practitioner J.Michael Walton revises and expands his visual approach to the theatre of classical Athens. From the tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides to the old and new comedies of Aristophanes and Menander, he argues that while Greek drama is seen now as a performance-based rather than a strictly literary medium, more attention should still be paid to the nature of stage image and masked acting as part of this conception.
