- This 88,000-word monograph was inspired by a tranche of immersive performances attended between 2007 and 2015, distilling experiences of work by over forty companies into a focused analysis of five core case studies. It builds on extensive research into economic and cultural policies implemented in the UK between 2010 and 2015, and a thorough examination of neoliberalism in theory and practice. What results is the first monographic political appraisal of immersive theatre. Ideas were also informed by original interviews, the author’s creative work with Curious Directive, and dissemination at 11 conferences and symposia in the years leading up to publication.
