The chapters all point to the inherent instability or openness of this play and its themes of shifting identity and boundary crossings, bridging nature and culture, the material and 'airy nothing', mortal and fairy. They make clear that this play speaks to people around the world today, emphasizing its wide global reception and adaptability in both theater and film. |
