Beschreibung

This book maps contemporary playwriting and theatre translation practices and ecologies in the European continent.

Whether you are a scholar researching contemporary drama and translation, or a theatre practitioner looking for ways to navigate theatrical conventions in other countries, this book is for you. Through questionnaires and one-to-one interviews with key stakeholders, Dr Laera collects qualitative and quantitative data about how each national theatre culture supports living dramatists, what conventions drive the production and translation (or lack thereof) of contemporary plays, and what perceptions are held by gatekeepers, theatre-makers and other cultural operators about the theatre system in which they work.

Through country-by-country descriptions and analyses; interviews with playwrights, translators, directors and gatekeepers; a list of key facts and best practices; and a rigorous assessment of its methodologies, this volume is indispensable for those interested in contemporary European theatre practice.

Rezensionen / Stimmen

''The book is an impressive undertaking, building cultural and creative bridges at a time when Europe needs these urgently. The book pursues dialogues across practices, institutions, stakeholders and individuals in a methodical and illuminating way, providing a framework that will be tremendously relevant to scholars, students and practitioners alike, well beyond national border lines. Such inspiring, applied internationalism is essential to contemporary theatre scholarship.'' Vicky Angelaki, Professor in English Literature, Mid Sweden University.

"The quantity of information orchestrated by Margherita Laera in this brief book is quite remarkable. Inspired by best practice from the furthest reaches of Europe - Iceland to Turkey - it provides extensive information on playwriting, theatre commissioning, funding, producing and reviewing practices, constituting an essential toolkit for keeping any theatre industry in excellent working order." Clare Finburgh Delijani, Goldsmiths, University of London.
