Reviews

As it stands, 'To Watch Theatre' will appeal to scholars and students interested in the four texts/performances Fensham takes up in her central chapters, as well as to scholars working on the relationships among affect, audience experience and performance theory. [...] 'To Watch Theatre' offers a useful addition to the emerging literature on audience, embodiment and emotion. (Kim Solga, Contemporary Theatre Review)
