text not available from this repository. 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.
