Theatre and The Visual by Dominic Johnson

Theatre & the Visual argues that theatre studies' preoccupation with problems arising from textual analysis has compromised a fuller, political consideration of the visual. Johnson examines the spectator's role in the theatre, exploring pleasure, difficulty and spectacle, to consider the implications for visual experience in the theatre.
'Contemporary examples are extremely well-selected and illustrate important aspects of the visual and their political provocations in contemporary performance practice' - Christopher Baugh, Professor of Theatre, University of Hull, UK
