Theatre and Medicine offers a tour of this interdisciplinary terrain. Organized into four distinct topics, each represents crucial ways of understanding the theatre-medicine relationship. From discussions on the somatic underpinnings of the body that medicine and theatre take as their subject through to the historical association of theatre and contagion, and the pervasive role of doctors and the practitioners of alternative medicine in Western theatre and role of patients on and off stage. Together, this brief study considers the institutional contexts of theatre’s medical performances in the early twenty-first century.

Dr. Stan Garner (Ph.D. Princeton University) teaches courses in modern and contemporary drama, introduction to drama, and theories of drama and performance. He is the author of The Absent Voice: Narrative Comprehension in the Theater, Bodied Spaces: Phenomenology and Performance in Contemporary Drama and Trevor Griffiths: Politics, Drama, History (1999). With J. Ellen Gainor and Martin Puchner, he co-edited the two-volume Norton Anthology of Drama, which was published in 2009 and spans the history of world drama from the Greeks to the present.
