Description:
This is the first book in English to focus on the Theater of Narration, a genre characterized by narrators who write and perform works that revisit historical events of national importance from local perspectives.
Review Quotes: "Guzzetta's history is an important study, introducing English-language readers to a genre that changes the shape of our conversations around historiographic theater and theater of the real. Unpacking a form with the intimate storytelling of Spalding Gray and the fearless national soul-searching of the best documentary theater, The Theater of Narration shows us new ways of feeling the past through performance." --Ryan Claycomb, author of Lives in Play: Autobiography and Biography on the Feminist Stage
