About this book

A cinema without cameras, without actors, without screen frames and without narratives almost seems like an antithetical impossibility of what is usually expected from a cinematic spectacle. This book defines an emergent field of post-cinematic theatre and performance, challenging our assumptions and expectations about theatre and film.

Reviews

“It is an illuminating contribution to previous research into the intermedial relation between theatre and film and a thoughtful response to new aesthetics emerging from their interplay. … It is certainly more geared towards and intellectually rewarding for advanced scholars and expert readers in the areas of theatre and performance studies, film studies and media theory.” (Claudia Georgi, Journal of Contemporary Drama in English, Vol. 4 (2), November, 2016)

'This book offers an original and exciting contribution to existing scholarship on contemporary intermedial performance. It skilfully defines 'post cinematic theatre' and traces its distinctive features in terms of form, content and address, using some well chosen examples. Piotr Woycicki deals with complex ideas in an accessible way and the eclectic range of theoretical material in this book will help give students and academics alike an excellent critical vocabulary with which to engage with this emerging body of practice.' - Victoria Lowe, University of Manchester, UK
