On the Performance Front
US Theatre and Internationalism
Part of the Studies in International Performance book series (STUDINPERF)
About this book
Introduction
This book argues that US theatre in the 20th century embraced the theories and practices of internationalism as a way to realize a better world and as part of the strategic reform of the theatre into a national expression. Live performance, theatre internationalists argued, could represent and reflect the nation like no other endeavour.
