It looks at how a range of women in the theatre - actors, managers, writers and live artists - have done this on the page and on the stage from the late eighteenth-century to the present day, testing the boundaries between gender, theatre and autobiographical form. This paperback edition facilitates connections - between texts and performances, past and present practitioners, professional and private selves, individuals and communities, all of which have in some way renegotiated identity through autobiography and the creative act.'Auto\/biography and identity' is a landmark in theatre history and performance analysis, in gender and cultural theory, and autobiographical studies. -- .\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47904448020638,"sku":"ING-9780719063336","price":40.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780719063336.jpg?v=1782453513","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780719063336","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
