Abstract "This book, certain to be of great interest to scholars and theatre practitioners alike, elaborates the theory of theatre developed by Badiou in works such as Rhapsody for the Theatre and the Handbook of Inaesthetics by inquiring into the status of a theatre that might be adequate to our 'contemporary, market-oriented chaos.'" -- back cover
