This pioneering study harnesses virtual reality to uncover the history of five venues that have been 'lost' to us: London's 1590s Rose Theatre; Bergen's mid-nineteenth-century Komediehuset; Adelaide's Queen's Theatre of 1841; circus tents hosting Cantonese opera performances in Australia's goldfields in the 1850s; and the Stardust showroom in 1950s Las Vegas. Shaping some of the most enduring genres of world theatre and cultural production, each venue marks a significant cultural transformation, charted here through detailed discussion of theatrical praxis and socio-political history. Using virtual models as performance laboratories for research, Visualising Lost Theatres recreates the immersive feel of venues and reveals performance logistics for actors and audiences. Proposing a new methodology for using visualisations as a tool in theatre history, and providing 3D visualisations for the reader to consult alongside the text, this is a landmark contribution to the digital humanities.

Ibsen, Theatre and the Chinese State interrogates a hundred years of Chinese history from the founding of the Chinese Communist Party to the present day, refracted through representations of a Western playwright on the Chinese stage. No other Western writer has had the same consistent presence in Chinese political, cultural and ideological history as Henrik Ibsen. Yet there is inconsistency in the reception of his dramas in China. Throughout the last hundred years, contestations over the national imaginary of China have played out in the changing interpretations of Ibsen’s plays. An understanding of the complex appropriation of Ibsen’s dramas in Chinese theatre offers a litmus test of China’s changing attitude towards the West. This book examines how the State, the scholars and the artists have used Ibsen’s drama for different purposes such as nation building, women’s emancipation and theatre reform.
