Description
Theatre and Nation by Nadine Holdsworth explores how theatre institutions, playwrights, and performance artists engage with the nation, nationalism, and national identity in their work. This book argues that theatrical representations of the nation are constantly in flux and that the way theatre interacts with the nation changes according to different geographical, political, economic, social, and cultural circumstances. Foreword by Nicholas Hytner highlights the dynamic relationship between theatre and nation, revealing how performances reflect and shape national identities. By examining various examples, Holdsworth sheds light on the complex dynamics of nationalism in contemporary theatre. Through its analysis, Theatre and Nation provides valuable insights into the role of theatre in shaping our understanding of the nation and its place within a globalised world.
