Synopsis

Surprising Theater Origins challenges conventional wisdom about the history of performing arts. It argues that modern theater's roots lie not solely in classical Greek drama but also in diverse cultural practices, many existing outside traditional institutions. The book explores proto-theater, religious rituals, political theater, and popular entertainment, revealing how these elements shaped the dramatic forms we recognize today.

 
The book examines the deep connections between early dramatic forms and religious ceremonies, highlighting how rituals evolved to incorporate storytelling. It also investigates how social movements used performance as a tool for protest and expression.

 
Presenting case studies from various historical periods, the book progresses from ancient rites to medieval plays and Renaissance street performances, demonstrating their convergence in shaping modern theatrical landscapes.

Female Trouble - A Screenplay

John Waters

Female Trouble, we might say, is his Summa Trashologica.” —Ed Halter, The Criterion CollectionListen as Waters himself acts out each role!It all goes to hell when Baltimore bad girl Dawn Davenport doesn’t get the cha-cha heels she’s been demanding for Christmas. In this hilarious, irreverent, pyrotechnic melee of high-trash hijinks, Dawn ruins Christmas, skips town, and embarks on a wild ride that involves hitchhiking, robbery, murder, pregnancy—and, of course, modeling and glamour, too. The second installment of John Waters’ classic Trash Trilogy, Female Trouble explodes conventional norms of good behavior (and art) and is all the proof you’ll ever need that sometimes being bad can feel so, so very good.A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
