Description: Providing a comparative approach to the internationally wide - spread phenomenon of the contemporary director - auteur in the theatre Authoring Performance urges a historical and theoretical exploration of the visions methods and stage idioms in the work of established artists. Sidiropoulou examines prominent examples of both older and more recent director - auteur work aiming at re - asserting - to its artistic and academic audience - the value of balancing the established emphasis on the diegetic aspects of theatre with the ever - spreading varieties of dramatic de - "centering" and "dissemination." This exciting work also poses questions of authorship which necessarily imply the redefinition of the relationship between "playwright" and the director - playwright.
