Exploring the intersection of modern and postmodern theatre with architecture, this book delves into how theatrical performances critique and influence the spaces we occupy. It examines the ways theatre shapes our perceptions of everyday environments, reflects our aspirations and anxieties, and offers visions for future architectural possibilities. Through detailed discussions, it highlights the transformative power of performance in reimagining the built environment.

Outlining different perspectives, this classic and field-defining text introduces 'dramaturgy' as a critical concept and a practical process in an accessible and engaging style. The revised edition includes a new introduction and afterword which provides insight into contemporary developments and future directions of scholarship.
