Written in the aftermath of the Covid crisis, this book brings the past, present and future of theatre-going together as it explores the nature of the relationships between performance practitioners, arts organisations and their audiences. Proposing that the pandemic forced a re-evaluation of what it means to be an audience, and combining historical and current cultural sector perspectives, the book reflects on how historical conventions have conditioned present day expectations of theatre-going in the UK. Helen Freshwater examines the ways in which developments in technology, architecture and forms of communication have influenced what is expected by and of audiences, reflecting changes in theatre's cultural status and place in our lives.Drawing on the first-hand experiences of festival director and performance practitioner Kate Craddock, it also contends that practitioners now need to turn their attention to care, access and sustainability, arguing that the pandemic taught us, above all, that it is possible to do things differently. Part vision, part provocation, part critical interrogation, Theatre and its Audiences offers an insightful appraisal of past norms and assumptions to set out a bold argument about where we should go from here.

Les principaux accès à l'orchestra et aux gradins dans les théâtres et les odéons grecs ou romains étaient partagés par les artistes comme les spectateurs. Essentiels pour l'usage des monuments, ils ont été en grande partie négligés dans la mesure où, comme tout passage, ils se définissent par un vide. Aucun ouvrage ne leur a été entièrement dédié. Aucune synthèse sur le théâtre antique ne comporte de chapitre qui en retrace l'histoire. Le présent recueil tente de combler une lacune en envisageant l'évolution de ces accès depuis la naissance du théâtre grec jusqu'à la mort du théâtre romain, du Portugal au Proche-Orient. Il comporte sept synthèses régionales et autant de présentations monographiques, regroupées en trois zones géographiques : l'Orient, l'Italie et l'Hispanie, les Gaules et les Germanies. Ces contributions témoignent de l'importance essentielle de ces passages dans le fonctionnement des édifices de spectacles antiques et la diversité régionale de leur configuration. Elles invitent à s'interroger sur la pertinence même de l'usage des termes « parodos » et « aditus » en soulignant les normes qu'ils véhiculent dans l'analyse architecturale.

This is the first study of French theater and war at a time of global revolutions, colonial violence, and radical social transformation. Analyzing France and its largest Caribbean colony (Saint-Domingue), and spanning the Old Regime and Revolution, Logan Connors presents an ambitious, richly interdisciplinary argument, grounded in theater and performance studies, literary analysis of drama, and cultural, military, and gender history. Demonstrating how war and soldiering catalyzed new drama types and fostered theater's expansion into France's geographical and social peripheries, the study also shows how theater emerged as a dynamic space in which military practices could be re-imagined. This major scholarly intervention provides unparalleled insight into theater's engagement with international and domestic war efforts during a transformational period in global history.
