Omschrijving
'Worthen's book encompasses a dazzling variety of texts, performances, and productions and draws from various theories of theater as well as of technology … Worthen's analysis suggests many exciting areas of exploration—not only about technologies of dramatic theater in particular, but also in any area where technologies assist in representation or the creation of meaning.' Sarah Kriger, Technology and Culture

Sarah Kriger, Technology and Culture
'Shakespeare, Technicity, Theatre is a masterful book that, against all odds, reveals contemporary Shakespeare performance to be ground zero for any critical conversation about theater and technology.' Gina Bloom, Renaissance Drama
'Worthen's monograph provides a fresh examination of the various ways that performance involves technicity, which demarcate theater as an ever-emerging technology for performance studies and Shakespeare scholars. It embraces the techne of Shakespearean performance—including algorithms as a form of mimesis, digital applications as a medial element of theatricality, and recording—as sites of virtual intersection, through which performance powerfully affects cultural democracy and ethical obligations among its contemporary audiences.' Nikki Ruolo, Shakespeare Quarterly
'W. B. Worthen's latest book boldly argues for fundamental changes to how theatre scholars analyze the use of technology in theatre and performance…' Amy Borsuk, Theatre Journal
