On the Performance Front

This book argues that US theatre in the 20th century embraced the theories and practices of internationalism as a way to realize a better world and as part of the strategic reform of the theatre into a national expression. Live performance, theatre internationalists argued, could represent and reflect the nation like no other endeavour.

Aceasta carte sustine ca teatrul american din secolul al XX-lea a imbratisat teoriile si practicile internationalismului ca o modalitate de a realiza o lume mai buna si ca parte a reformei strategice a teatrului intr-o expresie nationala. Internationalistii de teatru au sustinut ca spectacolul live ar putea reprezenta si reflecta natiunea ca niciun alt efort.
