Description

This new edition of Barker s seminal text Arguments for a Theatre outlinesthe theory and practice of his Theatre of Catastrophe . Author of over thirty plays, Howard Barker has long been an implacable foe of the liberal British establishment, and champion of radical theatre world-wide. His best-known plays are The Castle, Scenes from an Execution and The Possibilities. All his plays are emotionally highly charged, intellectually stimulating and have no truck with the theatrical conventions of what he terms the Establishment Theatre . These fragments, essays, thoughts and poems on the nature of theatre likewise reject the constraints of objective academic theatre criticism. Rather they explore the collision (and collusion) of intellect and artistry in the creative act. This book is more than a collection of essays: it is a cultural manifesto.
