"Theatre has engaged with science since its beginnings in Ancient Greece. The intersection
of the two disciplines has been the focus of increasing interest to scholars and students.
The Cambridge Companion to Theatre and Science gives readers a sense of this dynamic
field, using detailed analyses of plays and performances covering a wide range of
areas including climate change and the environment, technology, animal studies, disease
and contagion, mental health, and performance and cognition. Identifying historical
tendencies that have dominated theatre's relationship with science, the volume traces
many periods of theatre history across a wide geographical range. It follows a simple
and clear structure of pairs and triads of chapters that cluster around a given theme
so that readers get a clear sense of the current debates and perspectives"
