- This major new history is the culmination of a large-scale, extended research project, part-funded by a Leverhulme Fellowship (2014-2017). Focusing on aspects of British performance cultures from the early twentieth century, it suggests a substantial rethinking of the interrelationships between performance, screen and public cultures at a time when the idea of ‘performance’ was central to public discourse about citizenship, social fragmentation, surveillance and the body. The multi-disciplinary research uses new materials from a wide spectrum of archives to create an innovative social history which re-locates theatre and performance as both inside of and integral to a complex public culture.
