London: Routledge, 1993 — 162 p. — ISBN10: 0415052025; ISBN13: 978-0415052023.Theatre on Trial is the first full-length analysis of Samuel Beckett's later drama in the context of contemporary theatre. Audrey McMullan employs a close, textual examination of the later plays as a springboard for exploring ideas around authority, voyeurism, gender and the ideology of stage and TV space. Her application of deconstruction and psychoanalytic feminism to Beckett's work will break new and exciting ground.Mimicking mimesisPlay: Theatre on Trial
