Description
Book SynopsisLara Shalson is Lecturer in Theatre and Performance Studies at King's College London, UK.
Trade ReviewFilled with astute, illuminating examples - from Pussy Riot to curtain speeches at Hamilton, from guerrilla theatre to plays by Ibsen, Brecht, and Eve Ensler, and from stage to street and back - Shalson’s book demonstrates how theatre offers sites and strategies with which to protest the exercise of power. Shalson’s concise treatment yields insightful analysis, useful to teaching, to art-making, and to witnessing performances of resistance. * Jill Dolan, Princeton University, USA *
