'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

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.

Successful series: A new title in this vibrant and established series of 'short, sharp, shots' about theatre
Theatre And is a long series of short books which captures the restless interdisciplinary energy of theatre and performance. Each book explores connections between theatre and some aspect of the wider world, asking how the theatre might illuminate the world and how the world might illuminate theatre. Each book is written by a leading theatre scholar and represents the cutting edge of critical thinking in the discipline.
