Based on theatrical research of unusual depth and enterprise, Theatre as a Weapon (1986) shows how the workers’ theatre of the 1920s and 1930s transformed the social function of theatre.

Recenzii

‘Theatre as a Weapon matches the best analytical work in other languages, and is unique in the scope of its coverage. Both theatrically and politically, it is authoritative in its information and trenchant in its analysis.’ – Dr Edward Braun, University of Bristol
