Description

Documentary Theatre and Performance explores a century of this powerful form of drama. Andy Lavender surveys key productions, examining how documentary theatre has integrated different media to document lived experience and analyse issues of truth, reality and representation. The book considers the nature of documenting, forms of intervention through theatre, and the presentation of civic unrest and political change. It includes case studies from Piscator's In Spite of Everything! (1925) to productions in Europe and America, as well as those responding to moments of crisis such as Fires in the Mirror: Crown Heights Brooklyn and Other Identities (1992). The book also looks at the impact of digital technologies on documentary performance. Lavender analyses how these different forms have engaged with mediations and experiences of cultural change and shifting identities. This authoritative study provides a broad chronological approach to understanding documentary theatre and its role in documenting reality.
