Punchdrunk on the Classics: Experiencing Immersion in The Burnt City and Beyond draws attention to British theatre company Punchdrunk's use of ancient Greek literature as a source of inspiration for the creation of immersive theatre. The book documents and analyses the effects of utilising Greek tragedy within both Punchdrunk's creative development windows, and Punchdrunk's final staged productions. It features material stretching from The House of Oedipus (2000) right through to The Burnt City (2022-23), on which the author worked as dramaturg and academic advisor. Chapters includes rehearsal studies of The Burnt City, alongside explorations of how Greek literature shaped the audience's experience of immersion in The Burnt City and how this production might change our understanding of the poetics of immersion in antiquity. Overall, the book provides an unparalleled depth of insight into an individual Punchdrunk production, and highlights the until-now overlooked significance of antiquity within Punchdrunk's practice.
