Abstract
The ongoing interdisciplinary research between the fields of theatre and neuroscience provides a fascinating and fruitful area of study and experimentation for artists and scientists alike; here Clelia Falletti, Gabriele Sofia and Victor Jacono have collected contributions with an international range, from neuroscientists, theatre scholars and practitioners, to give as full a picture as possible of a realm of exploration which is still undergoing rapid change and development. Falletti, Sofia and Jacono are theatre scholars who share a two-fold interest in neuroscience: firstly, this interest stems from their consideration that the discipline of theatre pertains 'to the vast territory of the human sciences' (p. xv), and secondly, it relates to their belief, which I share, that theatre scholars should not limit themselves to literary interpretations, but take an interdisciplinary perspective drawing on humanities, sciences and practice-based approaches in order to fully understand the complexity of the relationship between actor and audience.
