Words, Space, and the Audience

Exploring the interplay between rationalism and empiricism, this study examines four modern plays in the context of their time while also addressing universal themes of knowledge and understanding. Bennett argues that these works engage with contemporary epistemological debates, offering fresh interpretations through an interdisciplinary approach that encompasses history, philosophy, and drama. The investigation delves into the essential question of how meaning is created in theatre, culminating in an insightful interview with performance artist Coco Fusco.
