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 For more information, including the table of contents, visit the book¹s webpage: http://www.upress.umn.edu/Books/R/rayner_ghosts.html Sign up to receive news on the latest releases from University of Minnesota Press: http://www.upress.umn.edu/eform.html ---- To sign off Screen-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF Screen-L in the message.
