Theatre and Environment

How to theatre and the environment inform one another? Can theatre illuminate our responsibility towards the environment? Arguing that theatre's emphasis on community, intimacy and reciprocity makes it a natural partner for environmental causes, this topical book encourages a sense of responsibility towards the environment and examines how this is being handled by artists and performers in our time. [The author] draws on a wide range of case studies and demonstrates the urgent need for theatre-makers to re-evaluate the ethics, footprint and sustainability of their performances.--From publisher's description.
