Niemand zal ontkennen dat Joost van den Vondel de grootste toneeldichter van de Gouden Eeuw is geweest, maar de publieksprijs ging naar andere toneelschrijvers. De Spaanse comedias van topauteurs als Félix Lope de Vega y Carpio (1562-1635) en Pedro Calderón de la Barca (1600-1681) waren razend populair. Talloze dichters, vertalers, acteurs (en actrices!) rond de Amsterdamse Schouwburg hebben zich laten inspireren door het populaire barokke drama met z´n vele liefdesintriges, duels, balkonscènes, verkleedpartijen en liederen. Daarnaast maakten ze furore met hun Nederlandse bewerkingen van Spaanse toneelteksten. De vernieuwing is op gang gebracht door auteurs die het toneel van binnenuit wilden veranderen en die, buiten de gebaande paden van het traditionele vaderlandse toneel om, streefden naar visueel aantrekkelijk, emotioneel aangrijpend en inhoudelijk schokkend spektakel in de Nederlandse schouwburgen. Spaans theater in de Republiek brengt het begin, het hoogtepunt en het einde van deze beweging in beeld.

In Place of a Show is a compelling account of Western theatre buildings in the 21st century: theatres stripped of their primary purpose, lying empty, preserved as museums, or demolished. Playfully combining first-person narratives, scholarly research and visual documents, Augusto Corrieri explores the material and imaginative potentials of these places, charting interconnections between humans, birds, vegetation, and the beguiling animations of inanimate things, such as walls, curtains and seats. Across four chapters we learn of the uncanny dismantling and reconstitution of a German Baroque auditorium during the Second World War; the phantasmal remains of a demolished music hall in London's East End; a Renaissance Italian theatre, fleetingly transformed into an aviary by the appearance of a swallow; and a lavish opera house emerging from the Amazon rainforest. In these pages we are invited to discover theatres as sites of anomalous encounters and surprising coincidences: places that might reveal the performative entanglement of human and nonhuman worlds.

The Methuen Drama Handbook of Theatre History and Historiography is an authoritative guide to contemporary debates and practices in this field. The book covers the key themes and methods that are current in theatre history research, with a particular focus on expanding the object of study to include engagement with theatre and performance practices and the development of theatre histories around the world. Central to the book are eighteen specially commissioned essays by established and emerging scholars from a wide range of international contexts, whose discussion of individual case studies is predicated on their understanding and experience of their 'local' landscape of theatre history. These essays reveal where important work continues to be done in the field and, most valuably, draws on academic contexts beyond the Western academy to expand our knowledge of the exciting directions that such an approach opens up. Prefaced by an introduction tracing the development of the discipline of theatre history and changing historiographical approaches, the Handbook explores current issues pertaining to theatre and performance history research, as well as providing up to date and robust introductions to the methods and historiographic questions being explored by researchers in the field.Featuring a series of essential research tools, including a detailed list of resources and an annotated bibliography of key texts, this is an indispensable scholarly handbook for anyone working in theatre and performance history and historiography.

Caryl Phillips is one of the most respected writers of his generation. An award-winning author best known for his fiction, essays and stage plays, he is also the author of radio plays, nine of which were broadcast by the BBC between 1984 and 2016. Previously locked away in Phillips's archives, housed at the Beinecke Library at Yale University, these hidden gems are now published in Caryl Phillips's Radio Plays, the first collection of these important works of drama. Despite being previously overlooked, these radio plays are fully creative works and constitute an integral part of Caryl Phillips's literary universe. Not only do these dramatic texts display the author's hallmark mix of formal elegance and sharp social criticism, but they also offer compelling points of comparison with the rest of his wider writing. From the experience on an eighteenth-century slave ship and the life of a migrant family in 1980s England, to an account of James Baldwin's time in Paris and Marvin Gaye's stay in Belgium, these plays grapple with expansive themes in creative and dramatic ways. Contextualized by a scholarly introduction by Bénédicte Ledent, this volume introduces these works in the published form for the first time, allowing readers a better grasp of Phillips's narrative techniques, offering fascinating vistas into his imaginary world, which ranges from the history of the African diaspora to the predicament of displaced individuals the world over.

Gérard de Nerval rattachait directement le théâtre d'ombres aux atellanes latines : " Aussi bien Caragueuz lui-même n'est-il autre que le Polichinelle des Osques, dont on voit encore de si beaux exemplaires au musée de Naples ". Un demi-siècle plus tard, le grand helléniste Salomon Reinach faisait la relation entre les mimes du monde ottoman, leurs homologues italiens et ceux de l'Antiquité, via Byzance : " Il semble bien établi que le Karagëz turc a hérité du mime byzantin, comme aussi, par d'autres voies, la Commedia dell'arte et le théâtre des marionnettes ". Sans doute la filiation n'est-elle pas aussi directe. La continuité est frappante cependant : à la différence de la tragédie antique, qui dut attendre la Renaissance pour être réinventée à l'opéra puis au théâtre, la comédie et ses masques, relayés par les marionnettes, connurent une fortune moins illustre mais ininterrompue. C'est cette permanence que le volume souhaite illustrer, en privilégiant la portée familière du théâtre, qui dessine une nouvelle carte de l'Europe des spectacles. Sur cette carte, dans ce domaine comme dans tant d'autres, l'Empire ottoman se révèle une puissance de premier plan, bien intégrée au jeu européen. Les voyageurs ne manquent pas de s'intéresser à ses silhouettes familières, où ils scrutent l'héritage des Anciens. Notre époque a considéré ces spectacles avec la condescendance réservée au pittoresque. Au XIXe siècle, les spécialistes de l'Antiquité et de l'Orient étaient mieux avertis de leur importance. Cet ouvrage, qui réunit des historiens de la littérature, du théâtre, de l'art et de l'archéologie, remet au centre de la scène une tradition injustement marginalisée.

Drawing together new research from emerging and senior scholars, this selection of papers from the decennial Greek Drama V conference (Vancouver, 2017) explores the works of the ancient Greek playwrights and showcases new methodologies with which to study them. Sixteen chapters from a field of international contributors examine a range of topics, from the politics of the ancient theatre, to the role of the chorus, to the earliest history of the reception of Aeschylus' Oresteia. Employing anthropological, historical, and psychological critical methods alongside performance analysis and textual criticism, these studies bring fresh and original interpretations to the plays. Several contributions analyse fragmentary tragedies, while others incorporate ideas on the performance aspect of certain plays. The final chapters deal separately with comedy, naturally focusing on the plays of Aristophanes and Menander. Greek Drama V offers a window into where the academic field of Greek drama is now, and points towards the future scholarship it will produce.

À la fois niée et revendiquée, la concurrence entre le théâtre et les institutions religieuses est une composante essentielle des polémiques contre la scène au XVIe et au XVIIe siècle, en France et en Angleterre. Si la porosité entre la scène et la chaire est reconnue, elle est souvent mentionnée de façon implicite dans les traités sur le théâtre. Cette rivalité, le plus souvent dissimulée sous d'autres arguments, révèle les enjeux économiques, sociaux et politiques des polémiques antithéâtrales. Cette étude retrace l'ensemble des controverses sur la comédie durant deux siècles, pour définir les acteurs, les bornes, les mécanismes et les enjeux de la rivalité.
