Description

Dark Matter maps the invisible dimension of theater whose effects are felt everywhere in performance. Examining phenomena such as hallucination; offstage character; offstage action; sexuality; masking; technology; and trauma; Andrew Sofer engagingly illuminates the invisible in different periods of postclassical western theater and drama. He reveals how the invisible continually structures and focuses an audiencersquo;s theatrical experience; whether itrsquo;s black magic in Doctor Faustus; offstage sex in A Midsummer Nightrsquo;s Dream; masked women in The Rover; self-consuming bodies in Suddenly Last Summer; or surveillance technology in The Archbishoprsquo;s Ceiling. Each discussion pinpoints new and striking facets of drama and performance that escape sight. Taken together; Soferrsquo;s lively case studies illuminate how dark matter is woven into the very fabric of theatrical representation. Written in an accessible style and grounded in theater studies but interdisciplinary by design; Dark Matter will appeal to theater and performance scholars; literary critics; students; and theater practitioners; particularly playwrights and directors.
