Riassunto

Globalization is transforming theatre everywhere. As writers seek new opportunities to produce their work internationally, audiences are seeing the world and the stage differently. This groundbreaking study, now available in paperback, explores these developments in the context of the transformation of Ireland since the early 1990s.

Recensione:

Winner of the 2008 Theatre Book Prize, awarded by the Society for Theatre Research 'Deftly adapting Walter Benjamin's The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction, Patrick Lonergan identifies commodification and branding as the determining agents in the creation and circulation of modern theatre and, blending textual analysis with globalisation theory, provides the paradigm for a new phase of Irish theatre criticism.' - Professor Shaun Richards, Staffordshire University 'Simply the best and most thought-provoking analysis we've had of a central tension in Irish theatre (and indeed in the wider Irish culture) over the last 15 years.' - Fintan O'Toole, Irish Times 'This is an intelligent book and one with a mission statement --it's a clarion call for Irish theatre makers to resist the global homogenisation of culture.' - Emilie Pine, Irish Theatre Magazine
