These pieces, many of them published here for the first time, touch on topics from Greek tragedy to Scottish Folklore and from Lewis Carroll to Carl Jung.

Book excerpt: Have you ever seen a single moment in a play or film that you'll never forget something that made the whole audience gasp and gave you an unexpected insight? When theatre director Will Weigler analyzed nearly 100 stories about these kinds of unforgettable moments in performance, he realized that even though the plays were very different, there was an unmistakable pattern. They all had one thing in common. His new book, The Alchemy of Astonishment, is a fascinating account of precisely how theatre makes an impact on an audience. Will Weigler and graphic designer Kit Maloney have also created a companion deck of 55 cards to make it easier to learn and apply the theatrical vocabulary of staging strategies presented in the book.To purchase please visit https://onlineacademiccommunity.uvic.ca/press/books/ordering/
