SUSTAINABLE THEATRE: THEORY, CONTEXT, PRACTICE
Her book Sustainable Theatre: Theory, Context, Practice was published by Bloomsbury / Methuen Drama in May 2023.
Spanning almost three decades, this book approaches the topic of sustainable thinking and theatre practice from multiple angles and through an international perspective.
It records how climate and environmental concerns have been expressed in cultural policy, arts leadership and organizational ethics; in the greening of infrastructure and daily operations; in the individual and institutional practice of sustainable theatre-making; in performing arts education; and in touring practices and international collaboration.
It investigates, too, how the climate crisis influences theatre as a story-teller – on stage and beyond.
