David Greigs Holed Theatre

With a Foreword by Dan Rebellato, this book offers up a detailed exploration of Scottish playwright David Greigs work with particular attention to globalization, ethics, and the spectator. It makes the argument that Greigs theatre works by undoing, cracking, or breaking apart myriad elements to reveal the holed, porous nature of all things. Starting with a discussion of Greigs engagement with shamanism and arguing for holed theatre as a response to globalization, for Greigs works politics of aesthethics, and for the holed spectator as part of an affective ecology of transfers, this book discusses some of Greigs most representative political theatre from Europe (1994) to The Events (2013), concluding with an exploration of Greigs theatres world-forming quality.
