The Routledge Dictionary of Performance and Contemporary Theatre

The Routledge Dictionary of Contemporary Theatre and Performance provides the first authoritative alphabetical guide to the theatre and performance of the last 30 years.

Conceived and written by one of the foremost scholars and critics of theatre in the world, it literally takes us from Activism to Zapping, analysing everything along the way from Body Art and the Flashmob to Multimedia and the Postdramatic.

What we think of as ‘performance’ and ‘drama’ has undergone a transformation in recent decades. Similarly how these terms are defined.
