Musicality in Theatre

<p>Music continues to be immensely influential in key developments of theatrical practices. In this study of musicality in the theatre David Roesner offers a revised view of the nature of the relationship between music and theatre. The theoretical scope of the book is developed from a wide range of case studies some of which are re-readings of the classics of theatre history (Appia Meyerhold Artaud Beckett) while others introduce or rediscover less-discussed practitioners such as Joe Chaikin Thomas Bernhard Elfriede Jelinek Michael Thalheimer and Karin Beier.</p>
