Tormented Minds, Paperback / softback Book

Tormented Minds Paperback / softback

Part of the Playtext series

Paperback / softback

Description

This anthology contains three plays (Ceremonial Kisses, Shading the Crime, and The Maternal Cloister) that feature a protagonist who is compelled to confront his or her particular oppressors.

The critique of this oppression through theatre falls on particular social institutions and differs for each character.

The main institutions under scrutiny are religion and the state. The plays are very different in style and include the use of physical theatre, naturalistic explorations of human rights abuses, and symbolic structures, puppets and poetry.

The plays are supported by an analysis of their processes and themes.

All have reached production and the text is supplemented by photographs of these performances.
