> approximately 150 scholars are invited to present and discuss
> their work in the field of drama.  The conference draws
> participants from both Humanities and the Arts.  The papers
> delivered range over the entire field of theatre research and
> production.  Over the past 28 years the participants have
> come from 31 nations.  Papers selected for presentation are
> assigned to a conference panel that includes other papers
> with related themes.  Sessions are established to cover all
> the papers selected.  Each year a distinguished theatre
> scholar or artist whose recent work is relevant to the
> conference is invited to address the participants in a
> plenary session.  The keynote speaker for 2005 will be
> Professor J. Thomas Rimer (University of Pittsburgh).  Dr.
> Rimer will talk on the topic of “Athens in Tokyo: Postwar
> Japanese Production and Adaptation of Greek Tragedy.”
