Kritik
"Editors ... have collected an impressive range of international perspectives on human rights and theatre. ... What the volume as a whole achieves is an insistence on theatre's roles in wider cultural (often global) contexts that are about testimony, the recognition of past injustices, mediation, advocacy, and potential catharsis. Contributors offer engaging accounts of examples from a range of places (and eras) in which performance speaks of and through human rights abuses at the level of institutions, states, and international collusion." (Aylwyn Walsh, New Theatre Quarterly, Vol. 33 (1), February, 2017)

"I describe this book as vital to playwrights, artistic directors and serious artistic thinkers alike. ... I learned much from this book and itwill assist my own work as a playwright. ... I suggest that whether you are a theatre practitioner or an audience member, your stage experience will be improved by reading these essays. As I said at the outset, Mary Luckhurst and Emilie Morin have compiled and edited a vital series of essays." (Hubert O'Hearn, San Diego Book Review, October, 2015)mehr
