Descrizione Playing Sick
Playing Sick reconstructs how actors embodied three of the Victorian era’s most provocative illnesses: tuberculosis, drug addiction, and mental illness. In placing performances of illness within wider medicocultural contexts, Meredith Conti analyzes how such depictions confirmed or resisted salient constructions of diseases and the diseased.
