  • Last Scene of All
    Jessica Goodman
    Death in classical tragedy is an ending: a symbolic moment of catharsis, read by the audience according to theatrical and cultural tradition. Yet any stage death is also a non-ending: just one in a series of repeated (re)presentations, by an actor who will live (and die) again. Spanning six centuries and seven countries, this study considers how different dramatic authors have ...

  • The Experience of Colour in Lorca’s Theatre
    Jade Boyd
    Federico Garcia Lorca’s (1898-1936) powerful and experimental colour-work is a critically undernourished aspect of his craft, particularly in terms of colour’s psychological, bodily and material agency. Breaking away from scholarly preoccupations with Lorca’s sexuality, with the division of his work along temporal and stylistic lines, and with colour symbolism, Jade Boyd’s read...

    Brian Carroll
    This work searches Shakespeare’s history and Roman plays to find the raw materials of English national consciousness and identity.

    In 1945, Swiss sculptor Alberto Giacometti (1901-66) brought back to Paris six matchboxes filled with the work of his war years: minute figurines that crumbled upon a single touch.

    Lucy Rayfield
    There is nothing funny about comedy in Renaissance France. Comic theatre in the sixteenth century was employed, primarily, as a tool for teaching Latin; it was also judged to be a canny means of enriching and elevating one’s national literature and language. Increasingly, comedy was transformed into a political and polemical weapon, capable not only of resisting the influx into...

    Joanne Brueton
    Though notorious for his visceral, affective, and politically incendiary writing, Jean Genet also had a surprising penchant for the abstract language of geometry. Points, lines, obliques, grids and circles emerge in his texts as shapes that plot a map of subjectivity that he endlessly tries to navigate. However, Genet’s geometry is neither a flat nor vapid representation of spa...
