Publisher's Synopsis
New Theatre Quarterly provides a lively international forum where theatrical scholarship and practice can meet, and where prevailing dramatic assumptions can be subjected to vigorous critical questioning. It shows that theatre history has a contemporary relevance, that theatre studies need a methodology, and that theatre criticism needs a language. The journal publishes news, analysis and debate within the field of theatre studies. Articles in volume 68 include: 'Wistful Remembrancer': the Historiographical Problem of Macqueen-Popery; Supressed Desire: Inscriptions of Lesbianism in the British Theatre of the 1930s; Ten Years by a Poznan Lakeside: the Malta Festival and the Impulse for Urban Renewal; What Next for 'In-Yer-Face' Theatre?; Inventing Narratives and the Magic of Individuation: the Plays of Mahesh Dattani; 'There's Our Catastrophe': Empathy, Sacrifice, and the Staging of Suffering in Beckett's Theatre; Self and Nation: Issues of Identity in Modern Scottish Drama by Women.
