This essay explores the dramatic strategies in Yeats’s play The Resurrection (1931). The play is Yeats’s second treatment of his unorthodox view of Christianity. The first play with the same subject matter was titled Calvary, which was created in 1920 but never performed in Yeats’s lifetime. In addition to the subject material, both plays share the conventions of Yeats’s dance play. However, despite their similarities, The Resurrection shows various changes and development in the dramatic techniques to present the theme on the stage and make the audience accept it. Accordingly, this essay reinterprets the play focusing on such dramatic skills, and on the basis of the result, proves how The Resurrection was changed and developed. Finally, the essay further argues that Yeats’s diegetic theater retains the potential factors of total theater, which was defined in the late 1960s.
