Description

Dramas of the Past on the Twentieth-Century Stage examines historiographic metatheatre, a major genre of modern dramatic writing that combines self-reflexive engagement with theatrical traditions to illuminate historical themes. This Routledge Advances in Theatre & Performance Studies volume locates key texts within historical drama traditions whilst exploring how contemporary playwrights use theatrical form as a tool for political engagement and ideological critique. The book formulates historiographic metatheatre as a seminal mode within the contemporary dramatic canon, analysing how self-reflexivity in European theatre intersects with debates about the politics and aesthetics of representing historical events on stage. Essential reading for scholars, theatre historians, and students examining the intersection of drama, history, and performance in modern theatre.
