Celebrate the publication of The Methuen Drama Handbook of Gender and Theatre with co-editors Sean Metzger and Roberta Mock and several contributors to this 550-page volume of new scholarship. The confluence of gender and theatre has long created intense debate about representation, identification, desire, embodiment, and lived experience. As this handbook demonstrates—with case studies from Roman antiquity to early modern English, Chinese, Japanese, and Spanish theatres to recent North American, African, Asian, Caribbean and European productions—the matter of gender has consistently taken centre stage.
