About this book

Captive Audience is presented as the first collection devoted to this subject. It looks at the social, gendered, ethnic and cultural problems that come with incarceration, as they appear in contemporary theatre.

The volume opens with an essay by Harold Pinter. Later essays look at film scripts Pinter wrote for The Handmaid's Tale and The Trial, prison-based theatre projects, and Marat/Sade. Together they show how stage work responds to captivity in very different settings.

The book suits students and scholars of theatre and drama who want a focused account of prison and captivity on stage. It is published by Taylor & Francis, ISBN-13 9780415965804.
