White, Gareth (2024) Audience Participation in Theatre: Evolutions of the Invitation. Palgrave/Springer. ISBN 978-3-031-69887-3

Abstract

This new textbook edition of Audience Participation in Theatre: Evolutions of the Invitation situates the text in evolving theory, emerging practice, and changing contexts, re-establishing itself as the key reference point in its field. An updated review of the literature and a new chapter develops its original argument with respect to historical change in how audiences and their expectations are constituted, and changes to how participation is invited, mediated and valued.
