   Abstract = {In this chapter, R. Darren Gobert elaborates the written and
             performative conventions of gender and casting historically,
             as we move from page to stage. Gobert examines Churchill's
             Love and Information as it attempts to sidestep gender by
             not predetermining gender or character in the play's written
             script. Comparing the line attribution and casting of Love
             and Information in its British, Canadian, and US premieres,
             Gobert examines how these productions negotiated the play's
             representations, asking what gender possibilities the play
             offers in the twenty-first century-and what realities of
             gender it reflects.},

@article{fds340730,
   Author = {Gobert, RD},
   Title = {CARTESIAN SUBJECTIVITY ON THE NEOCLASSICAL STAGE; OR,
             MOLIÈRE ACTS CORNEILLE FOR LOUIS XIV},
   Journal = {Theatre Survey},
   Volume = {49},
   Number = {1},
   Pages = {65-89},

   Abstract = {<jats:p>In 1658, having been invited to perform at court for
             the first time in his career, Molière paired his farce
             <jats:italic>Le Docteur amoureux</jats:italic> with
             <jats:italic>Nicomède</jats:italic>, a 1651 play by
             France's reigning dramatist, Pierre Corneille. The choice of
             <jats:italic>Nicomède</jats:italic> is surprising for
             political reasons, since the play is shot through with
             suspicion of royal authority: Corneille's hero is a great
             military leader unjustly imprisoned by the weak king he
             selflessly serves. The choice becomes less surprising when
             one considers a different set of reasons. Corneille's play
             is a generic oddity that marries its tragic tropes to
             elements of historical drama and a surprisingly comic
             ending. Molière's provincial troupe may have felt more at
             ease in such a play than in a proper neoclassical tragedy,
             since they lacked training in rhetorically complex stage
             declamation and in the codified gestures and postures
             preferred to convey tragic stage emotion at the time. In
             particular, they lacked the facility of the king's (and
             Corneille's) favorites, the esteemed Hôtel de Bourgogne
             actors, who were in the audience as guests of the monarch.
             No doubt anxious in their presence and in the presence of
             the king, Molière might have sought to mitigate the
             unfavorable comparison he anticipated between the talents of
             his troupe and those of the reigning Paris
             tragedians.</jats:p>},

   Abstract = {<jats:p>In the course of his career, James Macdonald has
             directed a vast array of plays and operas in London, New
             York, Vienna, and Berlin, but he is perhaps best known for
             the premiere productions of Sarah Kane's
             <jats:italic>Blasted, Cleansed</jats:italic>, and
             <jats:italic>4.48 Psychosis</jats:italic> at the Royal Court
             Theatre, where he was an Associate Director from 1992 to
             2006. His most recent work includes Peter Handke's
             <jats:italic>The Hour We Knew Nothing of Each
             Other</jats:italic> at the National Theatre and the Broadway
             revival of Caryl Churchill's <jats:italic>Top
             Girls</jats:italic>. Macdonald met with R. Darren Gobert in
             London on 23 January 2006 to discuss the challenges of
             working with spare, difficult plays such as Kane's,
             Churchill's <jats:italic>A Number</jats:italic>, and Martin
             Crimp's <jats:italic>Fewer Emergencies</jats:italic>. R.
