Why is it that in going to see plays we are also touched or moved by them, and is there more than metaphor involved in such claims? Considering these and other questions, this book examines a range of contemporary performance works in which performers and their audiences occupy a shared realm of feelings, in which the play is not always the thing. MARTIN WELTON Lecturer in Performance at Queen Mary, University of London,UK. His research centres on the sense in performance - in particular the condition of 'feeling'. This research also encompasses practice, and recent projects include working as a performer and devisor with Sound and Fury Theatre Company, UK, and Theater ASOU, Austria.
