- Death in Modern Theatre: Stages of Mortality analyses examples of drama and theatre from the late nineteenth century to the early twenty-first century, encompassing the work of over twenty theatre-makers. It draws on the fields of history, sociology, psychology, and philosophy as well as the interdisciplinary field of death studies to provide original interpretations of selected case studies, exploring their historically informed, ever-changing representations of death and dying. In his review of the book in Modern Drama David Ian Rabey called it ‘the best monograph on drama and theatre studies I have read in at least five years’.
