The Stage Lives of Animals
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-138-81847-7 (ISBN)
As our planet lives through what scientists call "the sixth extinction," and we become ever more aware of our relationships to other species, Chaudhuri takes a highly original look at the "animal imagination" of well-known plays, performances and creative projects, including works by:
Caryl Churchill
Rachel Rosenthal
Marina Zurkow
Edward Albee
Tennesee Williams
Eugene Ionesco
Covering over a decade of explorations, a wide range of writers, and many urgent topics, this volume demonstrates that an interspecies imagination deeply structures modern western drama.
Una Chaudhuri is a Professor of English, Drama, and Environmental Studies at New York University. She has lectured and published internationally on modern drama, performance theory, animal studies, and eco-criticism.
