This timely book, the only introductory text in English to Genet's plays in production, offers an overview of this influential and controversial writer whose work prefigures many recent postmodern and post-colonial developments in theatre and performance studies. The volume offers clear discussions of Genet's plays, detailing philosophical, historical, political and aesthetic considerations, in order to render the complexity of his theatre exhilarating, rather than intimidating. These concise and accessible presentations included in the book's first half, provide a starting point from which then to explore ways in which different directors, designers and actors have approached Genet's theatre. Genet's plays have been staged many hundreds of times over the past sixty years, from Paris to Tokyo, from London to São Paulo. The book includes a spectrum of productions - over 30, from 1947 to 2007 - to illustrate the sheer range of theatrical styles that Genet's texts inspire. Reflecting not only on key plays and productions from the French playwright but on his early life and later political activism, David Bradby and Clare Finburgh provide a comprehensive account of a playwright and theorist whose plays caused rioting in his native country, and whose writing both for and beyond the theatre demonstrate a new approach to the relationships between art and life"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000455864 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000455864 60010 $$aGenet, Jean,$$d1910-1986$$xCriticism and interpretation. 000455864 60010 $$aGenet, Jean,$$d1910-1986$$xDramatic production. 000455864 60010 $$aGenet, Jean,$$d1910-1986$$xStage history. 000455864 650_0 $$aFrench drama$$y20th century$$xHistory and criticism. 000455864 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 000455864 7001_ $$aFinburgh, Clare. 000455864 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aBradby, David.$$tJean Genet.$$dAbington, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2012$$z9780415375047$$z9780415375061$$w(DLC) 2011022249$$w(OCoLC)729064971 000455864 830_0 $$aRoutledge modern and contemporary dramatists. 000455864 8520_ $$bacq 000455864 85280 $$bebk$$hEbrary 000455864 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=957462$$zOnline Access 000455864 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:455864$$pGLOBAL_SET 000455864 980__ $$aEBOOK 000455864 980__ $$aBIB 000455864 982__ $$aEbook 000455864 983__ $$aOnline
