Scenes from the Revolution by Kim Wiltshire
An exploration of radical political theatre in Britain from 1968 to present day.
'This is an indispensable archive of resistant performance practice, combining memoir, dramatic and critical writingWiltshire, Cowan, and their collaborators confront Project Austerity's culture of contempt and despair by recovering and asserting British theatre's history of critical refusal' -- Victor Merriman, author of ' 'Because We are Poor': Irish Theatre in the 1990s'
'Believe that 1960s theatre making is dead duck pass? Reader, best start re-thinking. Editor/authors Kim Wiltshire and Billy Cowan forge an original and powerfully mind-bending take across 50 years of radicalised performing. Essential territory for driving future performance toward politicised hope' -- Baz Kershaw, Emeritus Professor of Theatre and Performance, University of Warwick
