Carla E. Neuss earned a doctorate in theatre & performance studies from the University of California, Los Angeles, in 2021. She is currently working on a monograph that on transnational circulations of medieval biblical drama. The project traces four twentieth and twenty-first century theatrical adaptations of the medieval mystery cycle tradition across the global North and South—ranging from pre-revolutionary Russia and World War II France to post-apartheid South Africa and the contemporary United States—exploring questions of social and spiritual transformation through performance during periods of political rupture.
