This is a wide-ranging look at the state of contemporary theatre practice, economics, and issues related to identity, politics, and technology. The volume offers a snapshot dissection of where theatre is, where it has been and where it might be going through the voices of established and emerging theatre artists and scholars from the UK, US and elsewhere. An examination of how to make theatre in a time of crisis and why it is a vital form of communication are at the heart of the book's mission.
