Book Synopsis

Reimagines the content and continuities of theatre history and exposes underlying dialogues between ""home and homelessness, belonging and exile"" - a century-long struggle with the meaning and power of place, which the author terms ""geopathology"".

Trade Review

This is a book of real originality. Its treatment of space in modern drama is elegant and powerful. . . ." —William B. Worthen, Northwestern University

"Staging Place is a powerfully written book, deft in its handling of familiar and unfamiliar plays alike and eclectic in its use of theatrical sources." —Essays in Theatre/ Études théâtrales

"This sophisticated and well-written study for graduate students and their teachers explores modern drama's preoccupation with the seemingly irreconcilable discontinuities between the notions of home and homelessness, belonging and exile. . . . The readings of individual plays are fresh and invigorating. . . ." —Choice
