The series will comprise two strands: . Course texts which encompass fresh and original research insights on key themes related to dramaturgy, at an accessible level for students and non-experts, . More specialized work which includes a higher level of theorisation.The books in this series will, for example: look at the dramaturgical implications of new media, globalisation and forms of spectatorship, draw on an 'expanded' use of dramaturgical analysis to examine the relationship between theatrical performance and other disciplines, discuss dramaturgical practice and theory, across a range of perspectives and geographies.
