Theatre And Christianity (Theatre And, 46)

What is Christianity's relationship with theatre? What challenges have they posed to each other throughout history? This critical new title in the Theatre & series focuses on key points of intersection between theatre and Christianity -- the challenge of realism and the real, the treatment of women, the role of amateur performance and the interconnected issues of respect and offence. It covers a wide range of examples from medieval times to today, offering a bracing reassessment of Shakespeare's Measure for Measure and examining how theatre and Christianity have sometimes clashed dramatically and sometimes embraced one another to stunning effect.--Provided by publisher.
