Theory/Theatre: An Introduction - 2nd Edition

This is a new and enlarged edition of Mark Fortier's very successful and widely used essential text for students. Theory/Theatre provides a unique and engaging introduction to literary theory as it relates to theatre and performance. Fortier lucidly examines current theoretical approaches, from semiotics, postructuralism, through cultural materialism, postcolonial studies and feminist theory. Theory/Theatre is still the only study of its kind and is invaluable reading for beginning students and scholars of performance studies.
