My dissertation interrogates theatre and performance theory through the lens ofrecent developments in cognitive science. I explore the power of poetry inperformance to illuminate the connection and seams between body and language, actor and character, fact and fiction. I reexamine some of the work of new criticsand new historicists given the latest developments within neuroscience and suggesta path of integration between the sciences and literary and theatre theory. Ratherthan simply referencing scientific research as supplemental evidentiary material toa re-reading of Hamlet, I investigate how cognitive science can unveilShakespeare's textual theatrics and spot light blind spots in theatre and performancetheory.
