"For the academics or general readers, Sacred Theatre is an invaluable source on the sacred and its relation to the theatre... It is valuable and accessible to all readers, since it provides explanations for the structural understanding and function of the sacred in theatre with multidisciplinary approaches, and it offers incitement for discussion within performance and theatre teaching."- Aylin Atilla, Interactions "This book takes on the enormous task of identifying not only the sacred in theatre but also questions ideas of sacred across the spectrum. It offers a great deal of material for discussion within performance and theatre theory courses." - Dr. Jade Rosina McCutcheon, Assistant Professor, Department of Theatre and Dance, UC Davis
