Annotation:
	Explores how "baby-props" perform humanness and race in Winter's Tale, Titus Andronicus, and David Ireland’s Cyprus Avenue (2016). Suggests that Aaron and Tamora's baby in Titus Andronicus "shows how props accrue and reflect cultural meaning for performers, audiences, and editors not just in theatrical repertoire across plays but also across centuries of performance practice and histories of racial formation." Contends that in Winter’s Tale, "Perdita’s relatively generic baby-prop materialises Leontes’s suspicions of her interchangeability and infiltrating 'strangeness'." English summary, 93.
