In these pages we are invited to discover theatres as sites of anomalous encounters and surprising coincidences: places that might reveal the performative entanglement of human and nonhuman worlds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Augusto Corrieri\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474256724\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474256728\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/19\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.50d","brand":"Augusto Corrieri","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088345870591,"sku":"9781474256728","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_57503fdf-fca9-49e5-b3bc-d832c1c7b6b9.jpg?v=1769104345","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/in-place-of-a-show-augusto-corrieri-9781474256728","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
