1 Theatre, Communication, Critical Realism

2 WHAT IS THEATRE? Series Editor: Ann C. Hall Given the changing nature of audiences, entertainment, and media, the role of theatre in twenty-first century culture is changing. The WHAT IS THEATRE? series brings new and innovative work in literary, cultural, and dramatic criticism into conversation with established theatre texts and trends, in order to offer fresh interpretation and highlight new or undervalued artists, works, and trends. ANN C. HALL has published widely in the area of theatre and film studies, is president of the Harold Pinter Society, and is an active member in the Modern Language Association. In addition to her book A Kind of Alaska: Women in the Plays of O Neill, Pinter, and Shepard, she has edited a collection of essays, Making the Stage: Essays on Theatre, Drama, and Performance and a book on the various stage, film, print, and television versions of Gaston Leroux s Phantom of the Opera. Published titles: Theatre, Communication, Critical Realism by Tobin Nellhaus

9 Acknowledgments My thanks first go to Bruce McConachie. Without his urging, I would never have sought one more time to turn my ideas into a book, and he kindly read an early draft. I began exploring the ideas developed here in a dissertation written under the guidance of Joe Roach, with Leonard Barkan, Sandra Hindman, and Stephen Toulmin. Howard Engelskirchen, Ruth Groff, and other members of the critical realism discussion list debated some key issues with me. I received invaluable advice and encouragement from Talia Rodgers and LeAnn Fields. Brigitte Shull and Lee Norton shepherded the book at Palgrave Macmillan. Ellen Charendoff of the Stratford Shakespeare Festival Archives made the cover photo possible. My friendships with Susan Haedicke and E. J. Westlake have sustained me perhaps more than they know. I conducted some of my research and writing with the support of a fellowship from the American Council of Learned Societies, and a Fulbright lectureship at the University of Helsinki. I am deeply grateful to both organizations. One of the advantages of critical realism is its commitment to fallibilism. Indeed, one of the few unshakable truths in human possession is that error is always possible. And this is a good thing: we don t improve our understanding unless we first learn where we were mistaken. The errors in the following pages are mine alone; but at least my errors support part of my argument. This book is written in memory of my parents, Gerhard and Arlynn.
