It covers movements including naturalism, symbolism, expressionism, surrealism, Dadaism, futurism, and absurdism, alongside genres such as comedy, tragedy, epic theatre, and agitprop. Divided into two halves on theatrical forms and major themes, it examines how modernist playwrights, scenographers, actors, and directors shaped and were shaped by issues in philosophy, science, religion, sexuality, gender, race, intermediality, and interculturalism.

Covering such diverse movements as naturalism, symbolism, expressionism, surrealism, Dadaism, futurism, and absurdism, and ranging over many genres, including comedy, tragedy, the play of ideas, agitprop, and epic theatre, the book provides a comprehensive examination of how theatre was shaped by – and in turn shaped – modernism as it was practised around the globe. Arranged into two halves focusing respectively on theatrical forms and major themes, the volume features chapters examining how modernist playwrights, scenographers, actors, and directors engaged with such key social, political, and cultural issues of the day as philosophy, science, religion, sexuality, gender, race, intermediality, and interculturalism. An authoritative resource for students and researchers alike, this Companion attests to the pertinence of theatre and modernism both historically and in the contemporary world.  \nBrad Kent is Professor of British and Irish Literatures at Université Laval.
