- This book is the result of many years of inter-disciplinary research tracing the depiction in various arenas (including education, fine art, medicine, law and politics) of a ‘forensic turn’ in culture, an obsession with the ways in which information is detected, circulated and staged. The role of theatre in fuelling this cultural turn has often been observed but never been examined in detail. Challenging the genre boundaries through which twenty-first theatre has been organised, this ambitious monograph reads a diverse range of work to reveal the impact of, and frame theatrical responses to, the forensic turn.
