Summary

New Theatre Quarterly provides a lively international forum where theatrical scholarship and practice can meet, and where prevailing dramatic assumptions can be subjected to vigorous critical questioning. It shows that theatre history has a contemporary relevance, that theatre studies need a methodology, and that theatre criticism needs a language. Articles in volume 71 include: Remembering Martin Esslin, 1918-2002; 'An Uncooked Army Boot': Spike Milligan, 1918-2002; Double Acts, Theatrical Couples, and Split Britches' Double Agency; Doing Things with Words: Directing Dario Fo in the UK; The Long Road Home: Athol Fugard and His Collaborators; Kinds of Place at Bore Place: Site-Specific Performance and the Rules of Spatial Behaviour; Theatre Audience Surveys: towards a Semiotic Approach; Fragile Currency of the Last Anarchist: the Plays of Maxwell Anderson; The Mud and the Wind: an Inquiry into Dramaturgy; NTQ Book Reviews.
