Theatre and Plague: The Doubly Potent Spectacles of Early Modern Culture The Marseilles Plague – Physiological and Psychological Symptoms of Plague – Plague in Early Modern England – The Plague-Theatre – Filth and Infection – Theatre, Contagion, and Ritual -- 4.

Thyestean Savagery: Seneca, the Renaissance, and the Theatre of Cruelty Beyond Recitatio – The Sacrificial Crisis – Contagious Furor and Insatiability – Ritual and Bacchic Theatre – William Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus directed by Yukio Ninagawa -- 6. Artaud and the ‘Elizabethans’: Revenge Tragedy as Inspiration for a Theatre of Cruelty An Emblematic Approach to Stage Language – Arden of Faversham Revisited – The True Theatre – The Revenger’s Tragedy – The White Devil and The Duchess of Malfi – ’Tis Pity She’s a Whore -- 7.

This book examines the influence of the early modern period on Antonin Artaud’s seminal work The Theatre and Its Double, arguing that Elizabethan and Jacobean drama and their early modern context are an integral part of the Theatre of Cruelty and essential to its very understanding. The chapters draw links between the early modern theatrical obsession with plague and regeneration, and how it is mirrored in Artaud’s concept of cruelty in the theatre. As a discussion of the influence of Shakespeare and his contemporaries on Artaud, and the reciprocal influence of Artaud on contemporary interpretations of early modern drama, this book is an original addition to both the fields of early modern theatre studies and modern drama. .
