Book review: Trauma-tragedy: symptoms of contemporary performance

Trauma-Tragedy investigates the extent to which performance can represent the ‘unrepresentable’ of trauma. Throughout, there is a focus on how such representations might be achieved and if they could help us to understand trauma on personal and social levels. Tamara Felisa Micner believes that the book will speak most directly to students and scholars of theatre or psychology, though practitioners or enthusiasts of either field might find it instructive.
