Description

Explore the cultural genealogies of monsters throughout Western theatre history with this comprehensive study by Michael Chemers. From Ancient Greek drama to contemporary new media performance, this Routledge volume examines how iconic monsters-including Frankenstein's creature, werewolves, ghosts, and vampires-have been portrayed on stage and what these theatrical portrayals reveal to audiences. The book builds a clear methodology for understanding theatrical monsters across all periods, tracing how fragmented and uncertain creatures have entered the realm of performance and shaped theatrical meaning-making. Essential reading for theatre historians, performers, and anyone interested in how horror and monstrosity function as dramatic tools in recorded stage history.
