Richard Foreman and Jenny Kemp ? active over the late twentieth and the early twenty-first century. In addition, he tracks the development of a form of ?epileptic? writing over the course of his own career as writer/director. Murphet argues that these three auteurs have developed subversive alternatives to the previously dominant forms of dramatic realism in order to re-think the relationship between theatre and reality. They write and direct their own work, and their artistic experimentation is manifest in the tension created between their content and their form. Murphet investigates how the works are made, rather than focusing upon an interpretation of their meaning. Through an examination of these artists, we gain a deeper understanding of a late modernist paradigm shift in theatre practice. 606 $aTheater$xProduction and direction$zAustralia 606 $aTheater$xProduction and direction$zUnited States 606 $aTheater$xPolitical aspects$zAustralia 606 $aTheater$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States 606 $aModernism (Literature)$zAustralia$xHistory 606 $aModernism (Literature)$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aTheatrical producers and directors$zAustralia$vBiography 606 $aTheatrical producers and directors$zUnited States$vBiography 615 0$aTheater$xProduction and direction 615 0$aTheater$xProduction and direction 615 0$aTheater$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aTheater$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aModernism (Literature)$xHistory. 615 0$aModernism (Literature)$xHistory. 615 0$aTheatrical producers and directors 615 0$aTheatrical producers and directors 676 $a792.02330922 700 $aMurphet$b Richard$f1945-$01521617 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793968203321 996 $aActs of resistance in late-modernist theatre$93760929 997 $aUNINA
