- Summary:
- Beginning with a brief essay by internationally renowned playwright Harold Pinter, "Captive Audience" examines the social, gendered, ethnic, and cultural problems of incarceration as explored through contemporary theatre. The original essays discuss a wide range of topics related to the intersection of theatre and prison, including Harold Pinter's screenplays for "The Handmaid's Tale" and "The Trial," Theatrical Prison Projects, "Marat/Sade," and themes of imprisonment in US Latino drama. This is the first collection on this increasingly popular and important topic.
