Reviews

'...the detail and theoretical rigour of these studies will appeal to those already familiar with the company's work, as well as those thinking more broadly about the performance of gender (and masculinity in particular), the peculiar labour of the theatre, or the politics of apparently postpolitical theatre.' - Theron Schmidt, Contemporary Theatre Review
