New Theatre Quarterly 51

New Theatre Quarterly provides a lively international forum where theatrical scholarship and practice can meet, and where prevailing dramatic assumptions can be subjected to vigorous critical questioning. It shows that theatre history has a contemporary relevance, that theatre studies need a methodology, and that theatre criticism needs a language. The journal publishes news, analysis and debate within the field of theatre studies. Topics covered in NTQ 51 include: The Paradoxes of Gender in English Pantomime; Representing Sexuality in Shakespeare's Plays; The Cultural Troupes of the Eritrean People's Liberation Front; The Starfish and the Strange Attractor: Myth, Science and Theatre as Laboratory in Maria Irene Fornes' Mud; 'Giving Some Identity, Even if It Is a Fantasy': an Examination of the Work of Carran Waterfield.
