- The Theater and Its Double - Since its first publication in 1938, this book by Antonin Artaud has continued to provoke, inspire, enrage, enliven, and challenge theatrical debates in its call for a "Theater of Cruelty." A trio of theatrical manifestos, the book is an aggressive attack on many of the most treasured beliefs of both theater and Western culture. According to Artaud, the theater's "double" is similar to its Jungian "shadow," the unacknowledged, unconscious element that completes it but is its opposite.
