Table of ContentsReviews'Real Theatre is an elegant and entertaining read that makes a major contribution to debates around the realities of making - and watching - theatre. This is a book characterized by its willingness to engage seriously with the mass cultural forms of theatre that are so often overlooked by scholars, offering an analysis of the sophisticated ways in which audiences consume performance. A genuinely original and energetic approach to how we might conceptualise the theatre event, this book is a humane and richly insightful account of the peculiar realities that comprise theatrical performance.' Aoife Monks, Queen Mary University of London 'It is the great strength and joy of Real Theatre that it recognizes that, whenever it comes to the matter of theatre, and sometimes most illuminatingly when it doesn't, that thing is forever and everywhere decidedly 'only theatre' and, as such, absolutely essential.' Alan Read, Modern Drama Author InformationPaul Rae is Associate Professor in Theatre Studies at the University of Melbourne. He is the author of Theatre and Human Rights (2009).
