| Abstract | "This book examines select Australian theatre productions by director, Barrie Kosky. Barrie Kosky on the Contemporary Australian Stage contextualizes the director's early theatrical practice within its Australian theatre milieu. The book provides in-depth engagements with select productions including The Dybbuk which Kosky directed with Gilgul theatre company in 1991; as well as King Lear (1998), The Lost Echo (2006), and Women of Troy (2008). Using affect theory as a prism through which analyse these works, the book accounts for the director's particular engagement with - and radical departure from - classical tragedy in contemporary performance. Theatre studies scholars and students, particularly those with interests in affect, contemporary performance, 'director's theatre', and tragedy will benefit from Barrie Kosky on the Contemporary Australian Stage's vivid engagement with Kosky's work; a director who has become a singular figure in opera and theatre of international critical acclaim"-- Provided by publisher. |
