About
This book offers a unique range of contemporary theories of theatre aimed at informing learning and performance practice. It addresses reception theory, semiotics, Bakhtin's theory of the carnivalesque, hermeneutics and artificial intelligence as disciplines engaged with theatre as either practice or metaphor. Its authors all have practical as well as academic interests in theatre, and work in a variety of languages and cultures. They do not agree with each other, and so the book reflects the lively debate which is currently taking place in the discipline of theatre studies.
