Space and time in epic theater

"Epic practice is examined in relation to the history of the concepts of space and time, but the heart of the book is its historical, socio-critical, and semiotic analyses of productions in the epic mode: Hasek's The Good Soldier Schwejk, directed by Piscator; Mother Courage, written and directed by Brecht; Lenz's The Tutor, directed by Brecht; Ibsen's Peer Gynt, productions directed by Peter Stein and Rustom Bharucha; Buchner's Leon and Lena (& lenz), directed by JoAnne Akalaitis; and Les Atrides (The House of Atreus) from Aeschylus and Euripides, directed by Ariane Mnouchkine. For scholars and artists as well as non-theater-experts this study offers a deeper understanding of representation on the stage, with relevance also for the other arts, the mass media, and cyberspace."--Jacket.
