Description
Theatre and Politics by Joe Kelleher explores the complex relationship between theatre and politics, examining how they intersect and influence each other. Drawing on key writings from Plato to Rancière, as well as theatrical examples from Shakespeare to Peter Handke, this book challenges common assumptions about 'entertainment' and 'communication'. By considering the ways in which theatre has both exploited and undermined politics, Kelleher sheds new light on the role of performance in shaping our understanding of power and society.
