Notes

¹The difficulty does not appear to lie with any flaw in Karen Jürs- Munby's English translation.

²See, for example, I Caliban and Shopping for Shoes, both published with My Arm (Crouch 2003).

³Tim Crouch interviewed by Stephen Bottoms in Leeds, 6 November 2008. Further unattributed quotations from Crouch are all from this source.

⁴There are also, it should be added, other significant genealogies of ‘performance’ – perhaps most notably the interculturally-driven enquiries embodied by Barba, Schechner and others.

⁵Crouch's roll-call of second actors is a long and distinguished one, including such diversely famous names as Christopher Eccleston, Frances McDormand, Laurie Anderson, Mike Myers, David Morrissey, David Hyde Pierce, Hugh Bonneville, Josie Lawrence, Janet McTeer, Mark Ravenhill and Christopher Durang.
