This collection includes:

  • Theatre and Empire - Benjamin Poore suggests how we might think of these two notions together and how we might see empire itself as theatre, exploring theatre in light of both cultural and economic imperialism.
  • Theatre and Environment - Vicky Angelaki encourages a sense of responsibility towards the environment and examines how it is being handled by artists and performers in our time.
  • Theatre and War - Natalie Álvarez asks how the tools of theatre have been used in the waging of war, and how the tools of conducting war have been used in the making of performance.
  • Theatre and Knowledge - David Kornhaber shows how questions of knowledge have long animated the theatre. As much as philosophy itself, the theatre has always been instrumental in probing the boundaries of what we can possibly know.
