Resumen

• British Theatre and Young People gathers together new and original studies on the issues, theories, practices and perceptions which characterise British theatre about, for, by, and with young people in the 21st century.

  Interrogating the critical relationship between theatre and young people today, the book brings together perspectives on theatre about, for, by, and with young people and presents it as an art form in its own right. The first part of the book focuses on applied and socially engaged theatre practice with young people, illustrating the ways in which theatre can highlight inclusivity, well-being, community and politics among young people. Part two presents essays on adaptation and appropriation, generally looking at how classic texts have been adapted for young audiences. Finally, the last part of the book looks at the ways in which British Youth Theatre and practice in the UK has impacted regional and national theatre scenes. Highlighting this rich and active community and practice, this edited collection paints a picture of the state of theatre for and by young people in the UK today.

  British Theatre and Young People is ideal for undergraduate and postgraduate students of theatre studies and applied theatre with an interest in British theatre.
