{"product_id":"9781526191236","title":"Death in Modern Theatre : Stages of Mortality by Adrian Curtin","description":"Death in modern theatre offers a unique account of modern Western theatre, focusing on the ways in which dramatists and theatre-makers have explored historically informed ideas about death and dying in their work. It investigates the opportunities theatre affords to reflect on the end of life in a compelling and socially meaningful fashion.   In a series of interrelated, mostly chronological, micronarratives beginning in the late nineteenth century and ending in the early twenty-first century, this book considers how and why death and dying are represented at certain historical moments using dramaturgy and aesthetics that challenge audiences' conceptions, sensibilities, and sense-making faculties. It includes a mix of well-known and lesser-known plays from an international range of dramatists and theatre-makers, and offers original interpretations through close reading and performance analysis. -- .\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56302798635381,"sku":"9781526191236","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781526191236","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
