• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Drawing on material from previously secret archives, this study explores how theatre was censored in the GDR from 1961 to 1989. By examining a range of case studies, from banned stagings to those that met with official approval, the book reveals the shifting patterns of cooperation and conflict that shaped the space for theatrical experimentation.
