Review Women's Gidayu and the Japanese Theatre Tradition (Nissan Institute/Routledge Japanese Studies) / Routledge:Women's gidayu is a traditional form of Japanese musical narrative. During its 350 year history it has had to cope with the problems imposed by a theatrical culture dominated by men, but has survived and is now receiving greater recognition than ever before. This is the first book in English on women's gidayu and introduces the performers, their musical narratives and the politics of their survival within Japanese performing culture. It offers a case study of the continuation of a music within the context of the Tokyo metropolis and provides insights into Japanese theatre traditions, particularly as they reflect notions of gender, culture and society. Accompanying the book is a CD, that gives access to historical recordings of the plays discussed in the text. A. Kimi Coaldrake's book is a pioneering study of a traditional and important area of Japanese cultural life that has previously been little understood in the west. It will be of particular interest to those studying Japanese theatre and music and their role in society.

Review Enter the King: Theatre, Liturgy, and Ritual in the Medieval Civic Triumph / Oxford University Press, USA:This study describes for the first time the ritual purposes, symbolic vocabulary, and quasi-dramatic form of one late medieval courtly festival, the royal entry. Although the royal entry as a formal ceremony can be traced back as an unbroken tradition from late Classical times through to the Renaissance, Kipling begins where the royal entry adopts pageantry as its essential medium in the late fourteenth century.

Review Ecclesiastical London (Records of Early English Drama) / University of Toronto Press:Continuing in the tradition established by previous volumes of the Records of Early English Drama, Ecclesiastical London presents the ecclesiastically-generated dramatic records of London, notably its parishes and St. Paul's Cathedral. Among the topics addressed by editor Mary Erler are parish calendar customs such as hocking and maying, parish pageant cars and costumes, and the widespread popularity of boy bishops and of Palm Sunday prophets throughout London. Erler also looks at St. Paul's choristers' theatre under master Sebastian Westcote and examines its controversial venue. Among the many primary source materials examined in this volume are records from London's religious houses and parish accounts, as well as episcopal visitation injunctions and other documents of control and authority at the time. Ecclesiastical London concludes with ten invaluable appendices that look at subjects from Paul's Cross sermons to boy bishops. This volume presents a significant amount of new information about the history of drama in London, including discussion of a previously unknown performance by 'the clerks of London' in 1391-92, and the 1540 inventory of Henry Walton, which contains two substantial collections of costumes, identifying Walton as an important theatrical entrepreneur of the mid sixteenth century. This extensively researched volume is an important addition to the REED series and will be fascinating to those interested in the history of London and of the theatre in general.

Review Vertov: Kino-Eye (Cloth) / University of California Press:Dziga Vertov was one of the greatest innovators of Soviet cinema. The radical complexity of his work-in both sound and silent forms-has given it a central place within contemporary theoretical inquiry. Vertov's writings, collected here, range from calculated manifestos setting forth his heroic vision of film's potential to dark ruminations on the inactivity forced upon him by the bureaucratization of the Soviet state.

Review Theatre and Change in South Africa (Routledge Harwood Contemporary Theatre Studies) / Routledge:Can South African theatre continue to maintain its autonomy and exercise its critical role? Can one rethink form and find new content? Can a concept of post-protest theatre be developed? How might theatre contribute to a post-apartheid society? These are just some of the questions addressed in this book. The real and present difficulties South African theatre is facing, as well as possible future orientations, are clearly shown, at one of the most complex moments of political transition in the history of South African society. Geoffrey Davis and Anne Fuchs include contributions from playwrights, actors, visual artists, poets, directors, theatre administrators, theatre critics and theatre academics. Their comments and thoughts portray the active process of reflection and reappraisal, redefining their artistic and political aims, searching for new and vital theatrical forms.
