Abstract

Metatheatre is used rather ambiguously because of its loose definition.This paper aims to discuss various definitions and features of metatheatre, traces the history of metatheatre's evolution, and expounds on the five types of metatheatre and its wide application in feminist theatre with examples from Caryl Churchill's and Timberlake Wertenbaker's plays.This facilitates a better understanding of metatheatre and its potentially subversive power.
