Reviews

Louise Owen's often dizzyingly brilliant book makes a distinctive contribution to current scholarship on performance in the context of neoliberalization. Indeed, what is impressive is both the breadth and depth of scholarship that Restaging the Future draws on to intervene in one of the most important and pressing debates in present-day theater and performance studies. --Heike Roms, author of What's Welsh for Performance: An Oral History of Performance Art in Wales 1968 - 2008
