abstract = "This chapter examines the concept of transformation as it is commonly applied in theatre. Beginning with a look at some of the ways in which the trickster or shape-shifter has exploited transformation in the cause of change, it proceeds to analyse the specifically theatrical modes of transformation, and the challenges associated with sustaining these beyond the moment of performance. This analysis involves a consideration of the effect of character upon actor, alongside exploration of the relationship between disguise and identity. In the liminal space of performance anything goes. But does anything stay? ",
