'[a] brilliant series.these mini paperbacks each give an insightful, focused overview of a key topic.start collecting now.'. See for yourself.'. - Lois Weaver 'My eye was also caught by Helen Freshwater's Theatre& Audiences, which picks apart the way critics, academics and practitioners describe audience reactions as monolithic, and wonders why theattrical theorists often regard the audience with 'a complex mix hope, frustration and disgust'.'.

About this product

Product Information

What does theatre do for - and to - those who witness, watch, and participate in it? Theatre & Audience provides a provocative overview of the questions raised by theatrical encounters between performers and audiences. Focusing on European and North American theatre and its audiences in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, it explores belief in theatre's potential to influence, impact and transform. Illustrated by examples of performance which have sought to generate active audience involvement - from Brecht's epic theatre to the Blue Man Group - it seeks to unsettle any simple equation between audience participation and empowerment. Foreword by Lois Weaver.
