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 72 include: Views Across Borders; Small Audience, Big Picture; Cheerful History: the Political Theatre of John McGrath; 'Blood Red Roses': John McGrath and Lukacsian Realism; The Events of June 1848: the Monte Cristo Riots and the Politics of Protest; Performance, Embodiment, Voice; The Performative Self: Improvisation for Self and Other; The Market Theatre of Johannesburg and its Presence in the New South Africa; NTQ Reports and Announcements; NTQ Book Reviews.
