Embracing subjects as diverse as the "landscape dramaturgy" of Suzan-Lori Parks, Artaud's trip to the Sierra Madre, Gertrude Stein's landscape theory and practice, Guillermo Gomez-Peña's "border subjects," and Bayreuth and Disneyland as cultic sites, Land/Scape/Theater draws on a broad range of theory, dramatic texts, and performance. All aspects of modern theatre, these essays suggest, including the bedrock Aristotelian constituents of plot and character, have a landscape dimension that often goes unrecognised.
With its broad theoretical range and cross-disciplinary reach, Land/Scape/Theater will interest theatre theorists and practitioners and cultural studies specialists, including historians of landscape. Theatre students, scholars, teachers, directors, designers, and actors will find here a new framework and a new vocabulary for understanding both theatre and the larger culture.
