Unsettling Space: Contestations In Contemporary Australian Theatre

Unsettling Space investigates contestations over spatiality in one culturally composite nation, Australia, where contemporary theater stages competing cultural and political agendas through space and place. The book is shaped by three specific representations of space: monuments, contaminated places, and borders. Covering a wide range of plays, and offering a highly original theoretical framework for analyzing drama, this study will have wide appeal for issues of space, spatiality and territory in all forms of theater, in all nations.
