Book Synopsis
Investigates how and why three of Russia's most innovative directors - Meyerhold, Tairov, and Eisenstein - used the fantastical tales of E.T.A. Hoffmann to reinvent the rules of theatrical practice. Because the rise of the director and the Russian cult of Hoffmann closely coincided, Posner argues, many characteristics we associate with avant-garde theatre become uniquely legible in the context of this engagement.
