From the Publisher
“David Greig’s Holed Theatre: Globalization, Ethics and the Spectator is a creative and theoretically nuanced study of Greig’s drama from Europe to The Events. Identifying Greig as a “shamanic semionaut”, Rodríguez weaves an intricate and compelling analysis of the porous, relational nature of his theatre that meshes its aesthetic, ethical and political dimensions. An illuminating book guided by a passion for its subject and opening fresh perspectives on Greig’s multifaceted work.” (Clare Wallace, Charles University, Czech Republic)
“This is an important book that offers new ways of thinking and new vocabularies for approaching Greig’s rich and often puzzling body of work. Rodríguez methodically and meticulously investigates how Greig’s “holed theatre” momentarily and through contradictions might critique but also offer hope on the state of our world.” (Marilena Zaroulia, University of Winchester, UK)
“This book offers a reading of Greig’s work that has been indicated in previous accounts, but which has, up to this point, not received the detailed study it deserves. The theoretical framework is clearly delineated, the individual chapters rest on very careful readings of specific texts and performances, and Rodríguez is commendably clear on the links between the texts and performances, the theoretical framework she has established, and the wider world in which Greig’s work operates. This is an important contribution to the study of Greig’s work.” (David Pattie, Senior Lecturer in the Department of Drama and Theatre Arts, University of Birmingham, UK)
