"What do we watch when we watch war? At a time when spectacle and conflict have joined
forces via audio-visual technologies in ways that are more powerful than ever, who
now manages public perceptions of war and how? Watching War on the Twenty-First Century
Stage: Spectacles of Conflict examines how theatre in the UK has staged, debated and
challenged the ways in which spectacle is habitually weaponized in times of war. In
this original and interdisciplinary interrogation Clare Finburgh provides a richly
provocative account of the structuring role that spectacle plays in warfare, engaging
with the works of philosopher Guy Debord, cultural theorist Jean Baudrillard, visual
studies specialist Marie-José Mondzain, and performance scholar Hans-Thies Lehmann.
Throughout her study, Finburgh offers coherence to a large and expanding field of
theatrical war representations by analysing a wide spectrum of works, including expressionist
drama, documentary theatre, comedy, musical satire and dance theatre: among the productions
considered are Nigel Jamieson's Honour Bound, Lola Arias's MINEFIELD, Mark Ravenhill's
Shoot/Get Treasure/Repeat, Hayley Squires's Vera Vera Vera, Lone Twin's Alice Bell,
Richard Norton-Taylor's verbatim tribunal play Tactical Questioning, and Dennis Kelly's
Osama the Hero. Through her analysis, Finburgh demonstrates how features unique to
the theatrical art--the construction of a fiction in the presence of the audience--can
present possibilities for a more informed engagement with how spectacles of war are
produced and circulated."
