See all formats and editions

Director-dramatist Howard Barker is a restlessly prolific, compulsively controversial and provocative multi-media artist.

Beyond his internationally performed and acclaimed theatrical productions, and his award-winning theatre company The Wrestling School, he is also a poet, a painter whose work has been exhibited internationally, and a philosophical essayist cognisant of the unique power of art to provoke moral speculation, and of the distinctive theatricality of the human being in times of crisis. This collection of essays provides international perspectives on the full range of Barker’s achievements, theatrical and otherwise, and argues for their unique importance and urgency at the forefront of several genres of provocative modern art.

It includes an interview with the artist and an essay by Barker himself. -- .
