Description:
The Theatricalists: Making Politics Appear shows how theatrical conditions are interconnected with political struggles: who is seen and heard, how labor is valued, and what counts as "political" in the first place.
Review Quotes: "The Theatricalists is a powerful contribution to crucial discussions in theater and performance studies from the last three decades. Schmidt brings together an effective re-excavation of pivotal texts and events with current cases advancing the relevance of 'theatricality' as a central concern of contemporary performance and criticism." --Michael Peterson, University of Wisconsin-Madison
