Scholarly Publications/Peer Reviewed

Books:

• Public Theatres and Theatre Publics, London: Cambridge Scholars Press. Coeditor with Robert Shimko, University of Houston. This volume captures for the first time the emerging conversation within theatre studies about notions of public-ness, publicity and various forms of “publics.” With essays treating periods from the eighteenth century to the present, it reflects how public sphere theory and the model of “counter publics” can enrich theatre scholarship. 2012
• International Dramaturgy: Translation and Transformations in the Theatre of Timberlake Wertenbaker, Brussels: Peter Lang. Coeditor with Maya Roth, Georgetown University. This volume provides the first full-length scholarly resource on British playwright Timberlake Wertenbaker. It works from a frame of translation theory to articulate Wertenbaker’s dramatic range as a translator/adaptor and author of deeply intertextual original plays. The studies included find shared dramaturgical concerns and strategies in all of modes of Wertenbaker’s work across three decades of involvement in the British theatrical scene. 2008
