Can Stories Save Us: Staging the End of the World: Theatre in a time of climate crisis by Brian Kulick London: Methuen Drama, 2023; pp. 264
Staging the End of the World: Theatre in a time of climate crisis is in many ways a sui generis work. Its methodology is eclectic, drawing from author Brian Kulick’s incisive knowledge of the theat
We Should Be Talking about the Capitalocene
The term “Anthropocene” is obfuscatory, and as an analytic framework it has a serious blind spot: the conflicts stemming from the uneven distribution of the costs and benefits of the “Age of Man,” which are the very eco-conflicts on which artists in our field should focus. We should be talking about the “Capitalocene,” a term that locates climate change within the history of capitalism and colonialism, and suggests stories that deserve time on ou…
Queer Ecology / Contemporary Plays
Queer ecology” is a mode of ecocriticism that challenges conventional binary thinking about humans and nature by observing that “Nature,” because it does not draw firm, bright boundaries between humans and nonhumans, is essentially queer. Drawing on queer theory, ecology, evolution, and the philosophy of “vibrant materialism,” queer ecology argues for an ethics and politics that equalizes the status of the “others” that have historically occupied…

The Secret in the Wings (review)
In the two centuries since the Grimm brothers collected and published the folk tales that eighteenth-century parents told their children at bedtime, there has been a sea of change in their tone and content. The tales we tell our kids today repress even further the violence and latent sexual threat of their earlier versions, and the cultural imperative to provide our children with narratives that offer solace and reassurance keeps many of these st…
"Laß mich sein, was ich bin": Karoline Schulze-Kummerfeld's Performance of a Lifetime
Phedre (review)
Jean-Louis Barrault once noted that the formality of Racine's language—its cadence, its rhythm, its rhyme—constrained the actor to be equally stylized in his or her approach to performing his plays. French Neo-Classical performance, with its ritualized, iconic poses and declamatory speech, was a performative correlative to the rigid parameters of verse tragedy. It is hard for us to imagine how such performances could have seemed real or immediate…
