The volume aims to investigate the concept of ‘violence’ and its representation in different theatrical genres, both in original works and in adaptations that have been written and staged between the 20th and 21st centuries. The book offers a wide-ranging reflection on this theme and the mechanisms implemented in playwriting to represent the different forms and voices of violence imposed and suffered.
