Book Synopsis
Examines recent and contemporary work by such groups as Rimini Protokoll, Societas Raffaelo Sanzio, the Gob Squad, Nature Theatre of Oklahoma, and Foundry Theatre, while revealing the deep antecedents of today’s theatre, placing it in useful historical perspective. While many may consider it a post-postmodern phenomenon, the “theatre of the real”, as it turns out, has very deep roots.

Trade Review
“Offers insights that will be fresh even to the most well-versed of theater historians; equally illuminating is Carlson's discussion of contemporary works, some of which are on world stages at this moment... Essential.” - Choice
