Editorial Reviews

Review

‘This excellent anthology provides a wide-ranging collection of essays on critical issues of place-based theatre. It includes articles that treat historical and contemporary themes from the perspectives of both theorists and practitioners in a variety of institutional contexts. As the best anthologies do, it both bolsters and challenges the discipline.’ – Professor Laurie Beth Clark, University of Wisconsin Madison, USA

‘This is a welcome addition to the developing literature on site-specific theatre and performance, whose chief virtue lies in providing a range of original essays testifying to the diversity and disparateness of contemporary site-based work.’ – Steve Bottoms, New Theatre Quarterly

‘Performing Site-Specific Theatre is an insightful collection of essays that presents an interesting examination of site-specific theory and practice. It is a welcome addition to a field still largely located in performance studies and art, here exploring its

intersection with theatre… [The book] will be a useful book for researchers and teachers of site-specific performance, including its theories and practices.’ – Kris Darby, Contemporary Theatre Review
