Susan Bennett's highly successful Theatre Audiences is a unique full-length study of the audience as cultural phenomenon, which looks at both theories of spectatorship and the practice of different theatres and their audiences.

Published here in a brand new updated edition, Theatre Audiences now includes:

• a new preface by the author

• a stunning extra chapter on intercultural theatre

• a revised up-to-date bibliography.

Theatre Audiences is a must-buy for teachers and students interested in spectatorship and theatre audiences, and will be valuable reading for practitioners and others involved in the theatre.
