Theatre and Cancer

Beschreibung

This incisive and thoughtful new title in the Theatre And series confronts the difficult relationship between theatre and cancer. It explores representations of cancer in fictional worlds and autobiographical performances while also highlighting work that reimagines and reinvigorates the genre of ‘Cancer Performance’. Challenging conventional narratives which rely on the binary of tragedy versus survival, Brian Lobel argues for an alternative approach to understanding cancer in relation to theatre. 

• Part of the hugely successful Theatre & series, edited by Jen Harvie and Dan Rebellato
  
• Draws on Medical Humanities, an active area of scholarship
  
• Is the first book to focus exclusively on theatre and cancer, making a decisive contribution to the field
