A new view of how the stage is home to ghosts.

GHOSTS: Death¹s Double and the Phenomena of Theatre
Alice Rayner
University of Minnesota Press | 256 pages | 2006
ISBN 0-8166-4544-2 | hardcover | $67.50
ISBN 0-8166-4545-0 | paperback | $22.50

Alice Rayner examines theatre as a memorial practice that is haunted by the
presence of loss, looking at how aspects of stagecraft turn familiar
elements into something uncanny. Citing examples from the works of
Shakespeare, Beckett, and Suzan-Lori Parks as well as the films Vertigo,
Gaslight, and The Sixth Sense, Rayner describes time as it is employed by
theatre with multiple facets of presence, duration, and passage.

³Alice Rayner takes a concept that has been floating around for a
while‹theatre as a 'haunting' or a 'ghosting'‹and works through it to a
degree that no one has before.²  ‹Jon Erickson
