Theatre and Community

This important contribution to the Theatre And series explores what the possibilities and limits of ΓÇÿcommunityΓÇÖ contribute to our understanding of theatre, and what theatrical practice and representation reveal about the tensions inherent in community settings. Drawing on case studies from wide-ranging locations, from the Middle East, to Latin America and South Asia, the text underlines the plurality of meanings associated with community, as well as the plurality of ways that theatre has engaged with those meanings.
Interdisciplinary in its reach, this is the ideal companion for students of Theatre and Performance Studies with an interest in applied theatre or performance in communities.
