In The Death of the Actor Martin Buzacott launches an all-out attack on contemporary theatrical practice and performance theory which identifies the actor, rather than the director, as the key creative force in the performance of Shakespeare. Because actors are absent from the site of Shakespearean meaning, he argues, the illusion of their centrality is sustained only by a rhetoric of heroism, violence and imperialism.

Van Morrison is one of the most distinctive voices in the history of popular music. For forty years his unique synthesis of soul, blues and jazz with Irish fold song and Protestant hymnody has shaped an impressive body or work. Martin Buzacott consider the themes and motifs that repeat throughout the singer's career and they examain, album by album, how MOrrison uses these as a form of musical and lyrical shorthand in his work.
