The Anti-Theatrical Prejudice: New Edition

The Antitheatrical Prejudice is essential reading today when theatricality, antitheatricality, and performativity are once again provocative issues playing out across contemporary culture and the arts. The original edition was published in 1981. The new edition includes a Foreword by Joseph Roach, the distinguished theatre historian and stage director, and professor emeritus, Dept. of English, Yale University. He is the author of The Players Passion: Studies in the Science of Acting and Cities of the Dead: Circum-Atlantic Performance.
