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.

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.
