From the promise of performance to the return of theatre -- Kleist's Uber das Marionettentheater -- From an ethics of performance to an affective politics of theatre -- Stage Fright : the predicament of the actor -- Embarrassment : the predicament of the audience -- The Animal on stage -- Mutual predicaments : corpsing and fiasco.
Things nearly always go wrong in the theatre. This study looks at the things that shouldn't happen: stage fright, embarrassment, animals on stage, getting the giggles and bumping into the furniture. All these turn out to be neither anomalies nor accidents, but are instead what makes theatre, theatre.
