About the Author:
DEIRDRE HEDDON is Professor of Theatre Studies at the University of Glasgow, UK. She is the author, with Jane Milling, of Devising Performance: A Critical History (Palgrave Macmillan, 2005) and her work on the use of autobiographical material in performance has been published in various journals and edited collections.
Review:
"The great strength of the book is the range of theories marshaled to support what emerges as a central theme: that selves can be victimized or empowered by narratives and that autobiographical narratives skillfully deployed in public performance foreground the constructedness of both art and life, the public stakes in each, and the possibility for alternatives." --Dorothy Chansky
