Theatre, Time and Temporality

Theatre, Time and Temporality is the first book-length exploration of the subject of temporality within theatre and performance. David Ian Rabey brings in sources ranging from medieval and Renaissance theatre to contemporary performances in addition to recent writings from physics, philosophy and psychology to analyse ways that time can be presented, communicated and transformed in the theatre. How do we experience time in theatre, and how can that experience be altered or manipulated? Rabeys analysis and exploration will spark discussion among students and scholars of drama, as well as among practicing performers and dramatic writers.
