What is included with this book?
"'To act or not to act,' that is the question. Or is it rather, as in Waiting for Godot: 'What are we doing here?' Such anguished outcries serve as points of departure for Michael Y. Bennett's illuminating readings of canonical plays by Wilde, Pirandello, Beckett, and Albee. He shows with perfect logic and great zest that the only good answers will come from a dynamic phenomenology of performance that never brackets off the historical context." - Jean-Michel Rabaté, Vartan Gregorian Professor in the Humanities, University of Pennsylvania
"The experience of the audience in the theatre and how they interact and inter-relate with the activity on stage is one of the most exciting and rapidly expanding areas of contemporary performance studies. Michael Y. Bennett makes an important contribution to this ongoing discussion with his Words, Space, and the Audience, providing a fresh perspective on four familiar plays from Hamlet to Waiting for Godot, and exploring how each provides through words, space, and action a rational epistemological model of the world for their audiences. Bennett's book is a lively and engaging contribution to contemporary reception theory." - Marvin Carlson, Sidney E. Cohn Distinguished Professor of Theatre and Comparative Literature, The Graduate Center, City University of New York
