PRACTICE AND PRACTITIONERS
Applying Performance Live Art, Socially Engaged Theatre and Affective Practice
Nicola Shaughnessy, Professor and Director of Performance, University of Kent, UK
’Applying Performance is a timely and engaging addition to the field, extending the scope and possibilities of what defines applied theatre, and pointing to emerging trends and thinking.’ - Michael Balfour, Chair, Applied and Social
Theatre, School of Education and Professional Studies, Griffith University, Australia

David Mamet A Life in the Theatre
Ira Nadel, Professor of English, University of British Columbia, Canada
'Nadel aims high...synching up the full range of Mamet’s work with his closely guarded personal affairs. It helps that the raw material on both counts is memorably vivid.' - The New York Times Book Review
'This is compelling stuff - front row seats to the life of one of America’s most influential playwrights. Mamet moves me and makes me jealous like few other writers can; this little jewel of a biography helps me appreciate the man as much as the work. An essential read.' - Neil LaBute, Writer/Director
This comprehensive biography uses extensive theater and film archives to reveal Mamet’s ideas on writing, acting, and directing, covering his beginnings in Chicago, his relationship to Judaism and reputation for machismo, as well as discussions of and excerpts from early plays and stories that have never before been referenced in print.

Contemporary Street Arts in EuropeAesthetics and Politics
Susan C. Haedicke, Associate Professor, University of Warwick, UK
Street theatre invades a public space, shakes it up and disappears, but the memory of the disruption haunts the site for audiences who experience it. This book looks at how the dynamic interrelationship of performance, participant and place creates a
politicized aesthetic of public space that enables the public to rehearse democratic practices.

This book examines the life and art of those contemporary artists who by force or by choice find themselves on other shores. It argues that the exilic challenge enables the émigré artist to (re)establish new artistic devices, new laws and a new language of communication in both his everyday life and his artistic work.April 2012 368pp 216x138mm Hardback £60.00 978-0-230-22153-6

Violence Against Women in Early Modern Performance Invisible Acts
Kim Solga, Associate Professor of English, University of Western Ontario, USA
'Powerfully argued and elegantly written...this is an inspiring book that deserves serious attention.' - Susan Bennett, University of Calgary, Canada'It is refreshing to read a book that is, in many ways, a call to arms, and that wears its politics overtly...fascinating for what it can tell us about the contemporary performance of early plays and about the negotiations that must still go on when presenting their scenes of violence against women.' - Karen Britland, Theatre Survey
Examining some of the most iconic texts in English theatre history, including Titus Andronicus, The Duchess of Malfi and The Changeling, this book reveals the pernicious erasure of rape and violence against women in the early modern era, and the politics and ethics of rehearsing these negotiations on the twentieth- and twenty-first century stages.

TEACHING THEATRE AND PERFORMANCE
Artistic Literacy Theatre Studies and a Contemporary Liberal Education
Nancy Kindelan, Associate Professor, Northeastern University, USA
Exploring the ways undergraduate theatre programs can play a significant role in accomplishing the aims and learning outcomes of a contemporary liberal education, Kindelan argues that theatre's signature pedagogy helps all undergraduates become actively engaged
in developing critical and value-focused skills.
