AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Through a contemporary Gothic lens, the book explores theatre theories, processes and practices that explore; the impacts of continuing drought and natural disaster, the conflicts concerning resource extraction and mining and current political debates focussed on climate change denial. While these issues can be argued from various political and economic platforms, theatrical investigations as discussed here suggest that scholars and theatre makers are becoming empowered to dramaturgically explore the ecological challenges we face now and may face in the future. In doing so the book proposes that theatre can engage in not only climate change analysis and discussion but can develop climate literacies in a broader socio-cultural context.'

Works about this Work

Laughing and Crying : Absurdist Theatre, Science and Climate Crisis Oliver Gough , 2022 single work essay
— Appears in: Science Write Now , August no. 7 2022;

'Rapidly rising sea levels and temperatures, erratic and severe weather: we have made nature uncanny, broken and unpredictable. In his book Dark Ecology, eco-critical philosopher Tim Morton describes global warming as a “wicked problem for which time is running out, for which there is no central authority; those seeking the solution are also creating it” (37). Our modern plot has dark irony and repetition, paradox and illogic. The Anthropocene is absurdist.' (Introduction)
