Books in the Cambridge Studies in Modern Theatre series

This book focuses on how theatre can make, and indeed has made, positive political and social interventions in a range of developing cultures. Essays examine particular plays, projects or movements from areas such as South America, Africa, the Caribbean and India. Contributors include Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka.

This book examines one of the most influential modern theatre companies, 7:84 (Scotland), under the directorship of John McGrath. DiCenzo explores not only the development of this company but also the growth of popular theatre in general. DiCenzo also offers a methodology for analysing records and materials found in theatre company archives.
