description: New Theatre Quarterly provides a lively international forum where theatrical scholarship and practice can meet, and where prevailing dramatic assumptions can be subjected to vigorous critical questioning. It shows that theatre history has a contemporary relevance, that theatre studies need a methodology, and that theatre criticism needs a language. The journal publishes news, analysis and debate within the field of theatre studies. Topics covered in NTQ 50 include: Postmodernism, Capitalism, and the Dominant Culture; The Birdwoman and the Puppet King: a Study of Inversion in the Chinese Theatre; Eritrea: a Theatre of Conflict; Harrison, Herakles, and Wailing Women: 'Labourers' at Delphi, 1995; Theatre as Complex Adaptive System; Naming the Frame: the Role of the Pre-Interpretive in Theatrical Reception; The Starfish and the Strange Attractor: Myth, Science, and Theatre as Laboratory in Maria Irene Fornes' 'Mud'.
