The 'macabre', as a process and product, has been haunting the theatre for thousands of years. In its embodied meditations on death and dying, its thematic and aesthetic grotesquerie, and its sensory-rich environments, macabre theatre invites artists and audiences to trace the stranger contours of human existence. This volume explore the global macabre - from performances of freakery to the Grand Guignol; from Texas's Evangelical Hell Houses to German Trauerspiel; from immersive theatre to dark tourism - to understand how the theatre brings us face to face with the deathly and the horrific.
