Stages of Queerness

Viac o knihe

Exploring the evolution of queer representation in British drama, this book examines the historical context and transformations of queerness on stage from the early 20th century to the post-censorship era. It delves into the concept of "queerness avant la lettre," the impact of stage censorship on theatrical portrayals, and the ways artists navigated legal restrictions. Additionally, it investigates the reciprocal influence between queer theatre and societal perceptions of queerness, posing critical questions about identity and representation.
