It covers a wide spectrum of manifestations and expressions-from the plays of Caryl Churchill, Anne Washburn, and David Henry Hwang, to the inherent theatricality of press conferences, FBI interviews and protests that embrace the confusion created by post-truth rhetoric to muddy issues and deflect blame, to theatrical performance, where the nature of truth is challenged through staged visuals which run counter to what the audience hears, provoking a debate about where the truth actually lies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With contributions by scholars from around the world, \u003ci\u003eTheater in a Post-Truth World\u003c\/i\u003e considers a wide array of examples from American and British drama and politics, Australian theater, and the work of performance artist Marina Abramovic.
