We thank Mark Dudgeon, Lara Bateman and the entire editorial team at Methuen Drama for guiding us and bringing this project to print. Magda Romanska provided essential feedback on our book proposal. Adam Alston and Elyssa Livergant generously read our introduction and gave valuable notes.
Finally, we are grateful to all participants and interlocutors who contributed to spirited conversations at the working sessions on postdramatic theatre we organized at conferences of the American Society for Theatre Research: in Portland in 2015, Baltimore in 2014 and Dallas in 2013. Even as these sessions did not engage explicitly with the topic of form, the discussions and debates made clear to us that this was an area that needed to be considered more substantively. Your essays, observations and criticisms helped shape this volume from inception to production.
