Palgrave The Plays of Martin Crimp Making Theatre Strange by Vicky Angelaki
This book rigorously examines the work of leading contemporary playwright Martin Crimp. It examines his plays, adaptations, translations and versions, treats them as texts and performance events and argues that their challenge to audiences derives from their 'making strange': producing theatrical innovation, thus rendering the familiar unfamiliar._x000D_ Table of contents : - _x000D_
