Abstract
We have spoken of the theatre’s affirmation or distrust of human time and space; of its willingness to celebrate both rough and holy or its fastidious determination to create a play world more decorous than God’s; and of its capacity to imitate and its temptation to summon the unseen. And we have suggested that the degree to which a play embraces one or other of these variables reveals in great measure its evaluative stance towards the world outside performance. A final and perhaps most important index of a play’s stance has to do with its assessment of conflict and resolution.
