Buy THEATRE & EMPIRE | General Books
The historical age of empires may be over, but empire, as an
idea, continues to exercise a hold over our imaginations. This compelling
examination of the relationship between theatre and empire begins with
potential definitions and theories of empire, suggesting how we might think of
these two notions together and how we might see empire itself as theatre. A variety
of case studies are then used to explore theatre in light of both cultural and
economic imperialism.
