- W2343525103 abstract "The thesis addresses the contrast between the popUlarity of plays with historical characters, i.e.characters that recognisably resemble historical figures, on the British stage and the lack ofacademic literature that deals with this issue. On the basis of such a practical observation, aworking definition is established, in which the existence of such a characters, or the reflectionabout the process of life-writing are included, and the consequences of the use of biographicalmaterial are outlined.A crucial effect is the establishment of a very different relationship between the world of theplay and the world outside the theatre in which it is produced and received. This question isdiscussed in the light of different theories that deal with the idea of reference and a functionalapproach that concentrates on the way in which different modes of reference, such as fact orfiction, are used is suggested.On this basis scripts and productions of biographical plays are analysed with regard to the wayin which they present the relationship between themselves and the past lives they portray. Inaddition, comments by playwrights and practitioners are presented. The second section focuseson the reception of biographical theatre, establishing a theoretical model in which its particularfeatures are described. It is then applied to the reactions of a small group of spectators who wereinterviewed about various biographical plays and to published reactions to life writing in thetheatre. Finally the conclusions suggest that the questions that are raised in the particular contextof biographical theatre go beyond this immediate field, as the relationship betweenperformances and the world is of importance for all theatre. The theoretical and methodologicalframework that is established in this thesis could therefore contribute to other areas of theatricalresearch as well." @default.
