This book examines how the Cold War had a far-reaching impact on
theatre by presenting a range of current scholarship on the topic
from scholars from a dozen countries. They represent in turn a
variety of perspectives, methodologies and theatrical genres,
including not only Bertolt Brecht, Jerzy Grotowski and Peter Brook,
but also Polish folk-dancing, documentary theatre and opera
production. The contributions demonstrate that there was much more
at stake and a much larger investment of ideological and economic
capital than a simple dichotomy between East versus West or
socialism versus capitalism might suggest. Culture, and theatrical
culture in particular with its high degree of representational
power, was recognized as an important medium in the ideological
struggles that characterize this epoch. Most importantly, the
volume explores how theatre can be reconceptualized in terms of
transnational or even global processes which, it will be argued,
were an integral part of Cold War rivalries.
