As the complicated relationship between music and theatre has evolved and changed in the modern and postmodern periods, music has continued to be immensely influential in key developments of theatrical practices. In this study of musicality in the theatre, David Roesner offers a revised view of the nature of the relationship. The new perspective results from two shifts in focus: on the one hand, Roesner concentrates in particular on theatre-making - that is the creation processes of theatre - and on the other, he traces a notion of ‘musicality’ in the historical and contemporary discourses as driver of theatrical innovation and aesthetic dispositif, focusing on musical qualities, metaphors and principles derived from a wide range of genres. Roesner looks in particular at the ways in which those who attempted to experiment with, advance or even revolutionize theatre often sought to use and integrate a sense of musicality in training and directing processes and in performances. His study reveals both the continuous changes in the understanding of music as model, method and metaphor for the theatre and how different notions of music had a vital impact on theatrical innovation in the past 150 years. Musicality thus becomes a complementary concept to theatricality, helping to highlight what is germane to an art form as well as to explain its traction in other art forms and areas of life. The theoretical scope of the book is developed from a wide range of case studies, some of which are re-readings of the classics of theatre history (Appia, Meyerhold, Artaud, Beckett), while others introduce or rediscover less-discussed practitioners such as Joe Chaikin, Thomas Bernhard, Elfriede Jelinek, Michael Thalheimer and Karin Beier.

Anna, a German mill-owner’s daughter, marries a French aristocrat and moves to France. She discovers that her husband killed his previous wife and that he is trying to kill her as well. Quick, intriguing, and with an extremely interesting plot, ‘The Grey Woman’ (1861) is a short story by Elizabeth Gaskell for anyone who enjoys a good gothic shudder. Incredibly progressive for its time, it is about the survival of the ill-treated woman who has decided that enough is enough. Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell (1810-1865) was an English novelist, short story writer, and biographer, best known for her novels ‘North and South’ and ‘Wives and Daughters’ as well as her biography of Charlotte Brontë. Gaskell was viewed as a minor author until the 1950s where it became evident that her depiction of industrial environments and social problems was brilliant and poignant.

Three books make up The Conway Chronicles. The first is 'The Last Werewolf,' in which a walk on the fells above a Lancashire village to escape the boredom of pandemic lockdown, ends with teenager Thomas Chester being followed home by what appears to be a blue-eyed Husky dog. Despite their best efforts the family cannot trace her owner because what they do not know is that the ‘dog’ is really Rozalia Lupuratu, the sole survivor of a group of immigrant werewolves from Transylvania who has managed to exist for seven years with a spectral pack of wolves on the fells but has now been told by the alpha male that she must leave and find a mate among her own kind. She chooses Thomas, but first she needs to return to human form which is not easy after so many years as a wolf. She finally manages it with the help of his cousin, a powerful young witch called Mary Conway. Then Thomas is struck down by the Coronavirus... Then comes 'Elf-Girl' where, in a children’s playground in a Lancashire village a baby girl is stolen from her pram by an elf who had a brief liaison with her mother. Not understanding that human children grow up very differently to elves, Pinkie Dianthus takes little Tiffany to Fairyland to look after him in his old age. But he soon realises his mistake and he hurriedly returns her to her mother only to be collared by trainee werewolf Thomas Chester and his girlfriend Rosie. Powerful young witch, Mary Conway, makes him vow to leave Tiffany and her mother alone. But he soon breaks his promise and kidnaps his daughter twice more. She escapes but, because time runs strangely in Fairyland, each time she returns to the human realm she is older than when she left. When Tiffany is taken for a third time, just after the Beltane celebrations at Mary's new home, she decides the time has come to sort things out with the elves once and for all. Last comes 'Witch-Haven' which is the name of a big old Georgian house set deep in the Lancashire countryside bought by Mary Conway - an accomplished witch as well as being a PhD. She has barely got herself settled in before she offers a home to three half-elf girls and their mother, two trainee witches and a werewolf. Not forgetting the two-hundred-year-old witch who lives in the attic because the house once belonged to her but she went away on holiday for so long that she was declared dead and the house was sold to Dr Conway by her estate! Then something creeps in through a window in middle of the night...
