Abstract

Theatre of the Real examines a diverse range of pre-dominantly, but not exclusively, North American theatre practice including documentary and verbatim performance, autobiography, mixed media and puppetry and interactive performance. Martin’s analysis focuses on how these various models of theatre engage with and represent real events, in the context of a mass-mediatised society. This study is essential reading for students and scholars engaging with late twentieth century and contemporary performance, histories of political theatre and those engaged in related disciplines such as documentary film, and media or cultural studies, particularly those specialising in Jewish histories and the Holocaust. It is accessible reading for intermediate to advanced
undergraduate students, and offers important new perspectives for postgraduate students and academic researchers and specialists.
