The notion of the sacred has long informed the work of British
dramatists like Harold Pinter and Tom Stoppard. Ralph Yarrow’s
_Sacred Theatre_ is the first book to examine the role of the sacred
in the practice, process, and performance of drama. While leaving
enough room for the personal and experiential, Yarrow draws on
concepts from sociology, anthropology, and critical theory as well as
analytical readings of plays and performance events to examine how
theater interacts with the otherworldly. This volume is essential
reading for anyone intrigued by the intersection of drama and
consciousness.
“This book takes on the enormous task of identifying not only the
sacred in theatre but also questions ideas of sacred across the
spectrum. It offers a great deal of material for discussion within
performance and theatre theory courses.”—Jade Rosina McCutcheon,
Department of Theatre and Dance, University of California, Davis
