Megan Vaughan contextualises the key debates and writings of more than forty bloggers with current research, and brings past and present practitioners into conversation with one another. The work of prominent and influential early adopters such as Encore Theatre Magazine and Chris Goode in London; George Hunka and Isaac Butler in New York; Jill Dolan at Princeton University and Alison Croggon in Melbourne is featured and considered alongside those who followed them. Vaughan presents arguments that have impacted on both arts journalism and the theatre industry. The book also includes: activist bloggers writing about fringe working conditions and diverse casting,explorations of new dramaturgical practices that have been developed and piloted by bloggers,a rigorous assessment of the institutional changes - in theatre, in academia, and for newspapers - which have been attributed to bloggers since their emergence. Vaughan concludes by posing two key questions: to what extent have theatre bloggers established a new critical culture? Has the potential of the form been realised?
