Reviews

'...Palgrave Macmillan's excellent new outward-looking, eclectic Theatre& ... series.These short books, written by leading theatre academics, do much to reintroduce some of the brightest names in theatre academia to the general reader. Plus, the matrix of references to bigger books soon builds quite a comprehensive catch-up reading list for those of us who graduated more than a decade ago and are interested in where contemporary thinking is at...' - Guardian Theatre Blog, September 2009, http://www.guardian.co.uk/stage/theatreblog/2009/sep/10/theatre-critics-academics-artists 'The accomplishment of Theatre & Ethics is to develop a theory of ethics in performance that can be applied to such a broad range of plays, performances, and cultures. While there are a number of remarkable insights in Nicholas Ridout's book, the most significant is simply to have brought together these two terms -- 'theatre' and 'ethics' -- in an approachable, compelling volume.' - D.J.Hopkins, Head of Theatre Studies, San Diego State University
