<P>If theatre is a way of seeing, an event onstage but also a fleeting series of moments; not a copy or double but more vitally metamorphosis, transformation, and change, how might we speak to - and of - it? How do we envision and frame a fluid reality that moves faster than we can write?</P>
<P>Arranged&nbsp;over two parts, 'Figurations' and 'Translations', <EM>Essays on Theatre and Change </EM>reflects on the animal, history, doubling, translation, and the performative potential of writing itself.&nbsp;Each fictocritical essay weaves between voices, genres&nbsp;and contexts to consider what theatre <EM>might </EM>be, offering a 'partial object' rather than a complete theory.&nbsp;Leaving the page radically open to its reader,&nbsp;<EM>Essays on Theatre and Change </EM>is a dazzling, multi-lensed account of what it is to think and write on theatre.</P>
