Woman's Theatrical Space

More about the book

Focusing on the evolution of theatrical space, Hanna Scolnicov explores its role as a reflection of societal attitudes toward women and their sexuality. Through historical and comparative analysis, she traces the transition of performance settings from public spaces to more intimate environments, highlighting how this shift impacts perceptions of privacy and intimacy. By examining works from a diverse range of playwrights, she connects these changes to contemporary artistic expressions, making the book valuable for scholars in theatre, literature, and women's studies.
