Theatre & Community (Theatre And, 30)

What is the relationship between theatre and community? Does theatre provide a ready-made space for experiencing collectivity? Or does it reveal the limits of community formation? For millennia, artists, spectators and scholars alike have questioned the nature of the temporary community that theatre makes possible, pondering the political consequences and artistic potential of these moments of shared experience. Drawing on a range of international and historical examples, from Ancient Greece to the Ottoman Mediterranean, Theatre & Community argues that the relationship between theatre and community is a space of rich and vibrant contestation.-- From publisher.
