“Beyond Immersive Theatre asks important questions and offers
apposite interpretations according to the parameters for analysis
it sets. These undoubtedly inform and challenge the reader. … I
would wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone interested in
engaging in discussion around, and beyond, the aesthetics and
politics of immersive theatre.” (Josephine Machon, Journal of
Contemporary Drama in English, Vol. 6 (2), November, 2018)
