Abstract:
It is surprising to find how little has been written by scholars on the prolific dramatist Howard Barker, and this situation may reflect the theatre's general failure to engage practically with his work. In many ways, Barker is a lone voice on the British scene — his theatre makes demands on both actor and audience because of its anti-psychological, non-linear, and morally unstable dramaturgies. A main point of contact for those interested in Barker but unable to see a performance live can, of course, be found in print. In addition to the many plays that have been published, a volume of essays and dialogues first appeared in 1989; Arguments for a Theatre is now in its third edition, and some of its essays are included in recent anthologies of dramatic theory.
