This is the first book to examine how the concept and disagreements
around post-truth have been explored in the world of theater and
performance. It covers a wide spectrum of manifestations and
expressions-from the plays of Caryl Churchill, Anne Washburn, and
David Henry Hwang, to the inherent theatricality of press
conferences, FBI interviews and protests that embrace the confusion
created by post-truth rhetoric to muddy issues and deflect blame,
to theatrical performance, where the nature of truth is challenged
through staged visuals which run counter to what the audience
hears, provoking a debate about where the truth actually lies. With
contributions by scholars from around the world, Theater in a
Post-Truth World considers a wide array of examples from American
and British drama and politics, Australian theater, and the work of
performance artist Marina Abramovic. Together these provide a
glimpse into how the theater in its many forms provides a venue to
raise awareness and encourage critical thinking about the
contemporary ubiquity of post-truth.
