Throughout theatrical history, almost every element in stage production has been recycled. Indeed any regular theatergoer is familiar with the experience of a performance that conjures the ghosts of previous productions. The Haunted Stage explores this theatrical déjà vu, and examines how it stimulates the spectator's memory. Relating the dynamics of reception to the interaction between theater and memory, The Haunted Stage uncovers the ways in which the memory of the spectator informs the process of theatrical reception.Marvin Carlson is Sidney E. Cohn Distinguished Professor of Theatre and Comparative Literature at the City University of New York.

"The theater ghost—whether it takes the form of the celebrity-possessed dramatic character (as in Kelsey Grammer's Macbeth), or the character-possessed celebrity (as in Rip Van Winkle's Joseph Jefferson), or the fixed locality of the Noh stage or the periodically returning scene in Tate Wilkinson's memoir—is an uncanny manifestation of the theatre's role as the caretaker of cultural memory. This is a wonderful book that will make a superb addition to scholarship in the field of theatre and performance." —Joseph Roach, Yale University
