Description
Theatre and Prison explores how theatre-makers stage critical questions about the use of prison in society. By examining examples from popular culture, dramatic texts, and applied theatre, this analysis reveals how theatre and performance shape our understanding of punishment, penal reform, and narratives of reformation.
Through a nuanced examination of these topics, Theatre and Prison sheds light on the complex relationships between theatre, performance, and society. This book offers a thought-provoking exploration of the role of theatre in challenging and participating in narratives of reformation.
Paperback edition, 92 pages.
