As a companion collection to Theatres of Affect, Once More, With Feeling celebrates and interrogates the variable experiences of affecting theatre in Canada.
This anthology brings together plays that highlight different types of affective experience—thematically in their content, dramaturgically in their structure, or technically in their production. They focus on how theatre uses a range of feeling-technologies, including plot, haracterization, special effects, and verbatim dialogue, to produce moving moments in performance and to elicit affective responses in audiences.
