This anthology brings together plays that highlight different types of affective experience—thematically in their content, dramaturgically in their structure, or technically in their production. They focus on how theatre uses a range of feeling-technologies, including plot, haracterization, special effects, and verbatim dialogue, to produce moving moments in performance and to elicit affective responses in audiences.

As a companion collection to Theatres of Affect, Once More, With Feeling celebrates and interrogates the variable experiences of affecting theatre in Canada.
