New Theatre Quarterly 64
New Theatre Quarterly provides a lively international forum where theatrical scholarship and practice can meet, and where prevailing dramatic assumptions can be subjected to vigorous critical questioning. It shows that theatre history has a contemporary relevance, that theatre studies need a methodology, and that theatre criticism needs a language. The journal publishes news, analysis and debate within the field of theatre studies. Articles in volume 64 include: The Artwork Judges Them: the Theatre Critic in a Changing Landscape, Characterization in Stand-up Comedy: from Ted Ray to Billy Connolly, via Bertolt Brecht, Ways of Understanding the Culture: Re-examining the Performance Paradigm, Cheshire Cats in the Theatre: the Translator and the English Fringe Experience, Voices for Reform in South-East Asian Theatre, The Precariousness of Political Theatre.
