Synopsis
Theatre Riots is a compelling account of episodes of unrest in theatrical history. From an Elizabethan rebellion over Shakespeare's Richard II to Sikhs uprising at Gurpreet Kaur Bhatti's Behzti, Sean McEvoy traces stories of violent public disturbances in response to this art form.What is it about theatre, compared to other kinds of cultural representation, which provokes this reaction? McEvoy looks at the intensity of the live event and asks whether theatre shares its unrepeatable quality with history. Each description provides an overview of the event, juxtaposing eyewitness accounts with newspaper reports and other contemporary narratives., Shortlisted for the 2017 Theatre Book Prize What is it about theatre, compared to other kinds of cultural representation, which provokes such a powerful reaction? Theatrical Unrest tells the compelling tales of ten riots whose cause lies on stage. It looks at the intensity and evanescence of the live event and asks whether theatre shares its unrepeatable quality with history. Tracing episodes of unrest in theatrical history from an Elizabethan uprising over Shakespeare's Richard II to Sikhs in revolt at Gurpreet Kaur Bhatti's Behzti , Sean McEvoy chronicles a selection of extreme public responses to this inflammatory art form. Each chapter provides a useful overview of the structure and documentation of one particular event, juxtaposing eyewitness accounts with newspaper reports and other contemporary narratives. Theatrical Unrest is an absorbing account of the explosive impact of performance, and an essential read for anyone interested in theatre's often violent history.

    I don't give negatives; However, description was not correct; No price guide was included in this book.As you will see in book pic shown; title states price guide included, no price guide inside. Communication poor, description, no communication price guide missing from this book. Shipping time was weeks before it was even shipped. Blamed the shipping on warehouse. You own & operate a business; your warehouse is not up to standards you change who you do business with. It's your responsibility.
