Theory for Theatre Studies: Space

This provides the first overview for students and researchers of relevant critical theory relating to this fundamental aspect of theatre and performance. It examines the 'spatial turn' in 20th-century theatre and performance making - and criticism - and establishes 5 frameworks for thinking through the spatial turn. A range of case studies from the contemporary world of theatre and performance demonstrate how these frameworks continue to shape and impact the ways in which space emerges as a topic of critical discussion today. The volume also explores new trends and theatre's engagement with the spaces of work, labour and capital.
