Om Food and Theatre on the World Stage
Putting food and theatre into direct conversation, this volume focuses on how food and theatre have operated for centuries as partners in the performative, symbolic, and literary making of meaning. Through case studies, literary analyses, and performance critiques, contributors examine theatrical work from a wide range of locations, addressing work from classical, popular, and contemporary theatre practices. This collection looks across dramatic genres, historical periods, and cultural contexts, and at food in all of its socio-political, material complexity to examine its use in live theatre, considering food as a transhistorical, global phenomenon across theatre genres.
