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. Topics covered in NTQ 49 include: Lmma Lyon, the 'Attitude', and Goethean Performance Theory; Good Nights Out: Finding and Activating the Audience with 7:84 (England); Behind the Arras, through the Wall: Hamlet in Krakow, 1989; Harrison, Herakles, and Wailing Women; Myths and Enabling Fictions of Origin in the Editing of Shakespeare.
