What is the secret DNA of theatre? What makes it unique? Why was it invented? Why does it persist? In an age when many studies are concerned with the `how¿ of theatre, this work returns us to theatre¿s essential `why¿. The Secret Life of Theatre suggests that by reframing the question, we can re-enchant this ever-vital medium of expression.
