Grounded in the history of disability performance of Beckett's work and a new theorising of Beckett's treatment of the impaired body, Samuel Beckett and Disability Performance examines four contemporary disability performances of Beckett's plays, staged in the UK and US, and brings the rich fields of Beckett studies and disability studies into mutually illuminating conversation. Pairing original interviews with the actors and directors involved in these productions alongside critical analysis underpinned by recent disability and performance theory, this book explores how these productions emphasise or rework previously undetected indicators of disability in Beckett's work. More broadly, it reveals how Beckett's theatre compulsively interrogates alternative embodiments, unexpected forms of agency, and the extraordinary social interdependency of the human body."-- $c From cover. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 600 10 $a Beckett, Samuel, $d 1906-1989 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 17 $a Beckett, Samuel, $d 1906-1989. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00035621 650 0 $a Disabilities in the theater. 650 0 $a Disabilities in literature. 650 12 $a Disability Studies. 650 7 $a Disabilities in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01940210 650 7 $a Disabilities in the theater. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst02025750 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 $i Online version: $a Simpson, Hannah, 1990- $t Samuel Beckett and disability performance. $d Cham, Switzerland : Palgrave Macmillan, 2022 $z 9783031041334 $w (OCoLC)1342440264 830 0 $a New interpretations of Beckett in the twenty-first century. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117021414.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F6D543043D8C11EE8AE814B62EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
