What had a toadstone ring got to do with the homicides that Detective Sergeant Lisa Pharies found herself investigating? With the help of her mentor, the now-retired detective inspector Heath, her journey leads back to the curse Beth Simkins uttered on the Ravenscroft family as she was being burnt at the stake, accused of witchcraft, four hundred years ago by England's witch-finder general, Mathew Hopkins. Has a descendant of the witch, the frail Jenny Simkins, anything to do with the burnt body of a Ravenscroft or the murder of an Oxford professor who wore a toadstone ring? Detective Sergeant Pharies is confronted by dark secrets of land ownership alongside the river in Danesbury that spans four centuries to the present day.

Shakespeare's Demonology
Author: Marion Gibson
Publisher: A&C Black
ISBN: 1780936184
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 249
Book Description
Is postdramatic theatre political and if so how? How does it relate to Brecht's ideas of political theatre, for example? How can we account for the relationship between aesthetics and politics in new forms of theatre, playwriting, and performance? The chapters in this book discuss crucial aspects of the issues raised by the postdramatic turn in theatre in the late twentieth and early twenty-first century: the status of the audience and modes of spectatorship in postdramatic theatre; the political claims of postdramatic theatre; postdramatic theatre's ongoing relationship with the dramatic tradition; its dialectical qualities, or its eschewing of the dialectic; questions of representation and the real in theatre; the role of bodies, perception, appearance and theatricality in postdramatic theatre; as well as subjectivity and agency in postdramatic theatre, dance and performance. Offering analyses of a wide range of international performance examples, scholars in this volume engage with Hans-Thies Lehmann's theoretical positions both affirmatively and critically, relating them to other approaches by thinkers ranging from early theorists such as Brecht, Adorno and Benjamin, to contemporary thinkers such as Fischer-Lichte, Rancière and others
