This volume, which collects a wide scope of some of Antonin Artaud's most significant writings - ranging from poems to plays, scenarios, production plans, articles, letters and historical fiction - is an ideal companion to his seminal manifesto "The Theatre and Its Double". Hugely influential on the theory and practice of theatre and other associated arts, these pieces reveal a complex and uncompromising philosophy which sought to liberate life from the fetters of civilization and its illusory ideals, and provide at the same time intimate glimpses into the tormented psyche of one of Surrealism's darkest exponents.
