Books by Susan Bennett

This book provides a flavour of a period of history known as the Enlightenment through the eyes of a young girl born in 1771. She was known to actors, actresses, artists, naval men, emigres and even a South Sea islander and visited England''s spa towns. She had her portrait painted by Angelica Kauffman RA and John Russell RA.

Bennett explores the relationship between theatre and museums, looking particularly at the collaborative processes that intertwine these two cultural practices. She argues that discourses of performance studies can open up new avenues of inquiry about the production and reception of the museum experience and its place in contemporary culture.

A trenchant and invigorating inquiry into how Shakespeare is reproduced today, examing how modern intercultural and cross-cultural productions reconfigure him for 'alternative' performances.

Explores the audience's role in traditional and avant-garde theatre, the impact of the spectator upon the performance itself and surveys past approaches to audience behaviour. A second revised edition with a new chapter on intercultural theatre, a revised introduction and a revised bibliography.
