Description
Barrie Kosky on the Contemporary Australian Stage is the first book-length study of Kosky’s adaptations of tragedy in Australia.
The book charts the early parts of Kosky’s career that came to impact upon his prolific work in opera in Europe.
The book uses affect theory to draw critical attention to audience’s experience of Kosky’s work outside of traditional reception theories.
The book provides a concept of ‘post-tragedy’ that can be productively taken up in relation to other directors radically adapting tragedy for contemporary performance.
