Produktbeschreibung
In an age where academic curriculum has essentially pushed theatre studies into 'post-script', and the cultural 'space' of making and watching theatre has been largely usurped by the immense popularity of television and 'mainstream' cinemas, it is important to understand why theatre still remains a 'space' to be reckoned as one's 'own'.
