In this new and updated edition of his well-known study, readers will gain insight into a key period of theatrical history and the life of one of its most fascinating individuals.

Religion er med fornyet kraft blevet en levende del af virkeligheden. Religionen har til alle tider spillet en betydningsfuld rolle i forhold til teatret. Som modspiller, som inspiration, som beslægtet dimension, der gestalter det uhåndgribelige. Forståelsen af både religion og teater er under opbrud i disse år. Faste grænsedragninger og begrebsdannelser er ikke længere en selvfølge. Der åbnes for afsøgninger af krydsfelter mellem de to områder.I bogen behandler en række forskere – fra Canada, Danmark, Italien, Sverige, USA – relationen mellem Religion og Teater ud fra en række tilgange: teologiske, filosofiske, sociologiske, teatervidenskabelige, psykologiske m.fl. – og ud fra tre overordnede perspektiver: Tradition, Modernitet, Hyperkompleksitet.
