Offers an examination of how to make theatre in a time of crisis and why it is a vital form of communication are at the heart of the book''s mission. Asks questions such as: where is theatre now taking place?; what is the relationship between play and performance?; how does funding work?; what states does theatre flourish under?; and if there is a current ''crisis of theatre'' should it not be seen as a welcome opportunity to develop a vigorous ''theatre of crisis''?.
