Introduction: conventions, interruptions and change -- Performance's place in time: on duration, speed and intervals -- Spatial relationships: exclusivity and inclusivity -- Technologies, connection and copresence -- Honesty, secrets and lies: how theatre communicates with audiences -- On the present and future needs of audiences: care, access and sustainability. "Written in the aftermath of the Covid crisis, this book brings the past, present and future of theatre-going together as it explores the nature of the relationships between performance practitioners, arts organisations and their audiences. The book combines historical and current cultural sector perspectives as it reflects on how historical conventions have conditioned present day expectations of theatre-going in the UK. Part vision, part provocation, part critical interrogation, this book offers an insightful appraisal of past norms and assumptions to set out a bold argument about where we should go from here"-- Provided by publisher.
