Delgado] Variously raising hackles and acclaim, the work of Peter Sellars is wider-ranging than the occasional observer might suppose - rooted in an apprenticeship as a puppeteer, followed by some sixty productions in a variety of media during the decade of the ‘eighties. But it is for his eclectic approach to opera that Sellars has become best known on the international festival circuit - which, suggests Maria M. Delgado, he is forced to travel by default, since his socially critical stance combined with an anti-realist aesthetic deters the sponsorship on which so much American theatre depends. Maria M. Delgado here offers an overview and an assessment of a career and a philosophy dedicated to an awareness ‘both of theatre' s role as a force of political and social responsibility and understanding and of the need to rise above the literal'. The author teaches in the School of English and Drama at Queen Mary College in the University of London.
