Making creative use of post-Brechtian performance theory, these texts blur the distinction between spectator and performer in a fascinating exploration of physical, moral, and cultural upheaval in a postmodern age. Performance theory is crucial to understanding how performance affects collective understanding, and this book will be of interest to a broad range of students of drama and theater.\u003c\/p\u003e\"","brand":"Intellect (UK)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47891310051479,"sku":"9781841504162","price":3717.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781841504162.webp?v=1781183151","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/carnival-texts-three-plays-for-ensemble-performance-9781841504162","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
