The fragmentation of social groups in the face of the global mass
media has begun to threaten the survival of popular theatre
companies. This study traces the development of various types of
community theatre in Britain and Canada, from the '70s to the
present day.
Attention is drawn to several key issues including: distinctions
between popular and mainstream theatre; the Theatre in Education
movement; influence of Theatre for Development from Africa and
Asia; popular theatre as an art form, a process of self-empowerment
and an instrument of cultural intervention. The book follows an
innovative structure, integrating a comparative history of popular
theatre with the contributions of current, active popular theatre
makers. The co-authors, one British, one Canadian, shape their
discourses around these contributions so that the the authentic
voices are neither mediated nor distorted. The book is thus
designed to appeal both to the theatrical practitioner and to the
academic.
