Radical in Performance

<p><em>The Radical in Performance</em> investigates the crisis in contemporary theatre and celebrates the subversive in performance. It is the first full-length study to explore the link between a western theatre which says Kershaw is largely outdated and the blossoming of postmodern performance much of which has a genuinely radical edge. In staying focused on the period between Brecht and Baudrillard modernity and postmodernism Baz Kershaw identifies crucial resources for the revitalisation of the radical across a wide spectrum of cultural practices.<br> This is a timely necessary and rigorous book. It will be a compelling read for anyone searching for a critical catalyst for new ways of viewing and practising cultural politics.</p>
