Reviews

Stevens's Anti-War Theatre after Brecht is an insightful study which investigates anti-war theatre from a new angle through its Brechtian framework. Especially for those interested in Brechtian aesthetics, contemporary political theatre and its attempts at offering counter-discourses and imagining alternative spaces, it represents a valuable contribution to these ongoing debates. (Anja Hartl, Journal of Contemporary Drama in English, Vol. 6 (04), November, 2018)
