Theatre and Social Media by Patrick Lonergan
Social media has become an increasingly prevalent aspect of our lives, used daily by many people. In this timely study, Patrick Lonergan examines the relationship between social media and theatre. He argues that social media is itself a performance space, analysing how it's used by both theatres and audiences and also in connection with each other.
'This accessible introduction asks necessary questions around the blurring of public and private realms while demonstrating how engaging with social media is always an inherently theatrical act' Josephine Machon, Middlesex University, UK
