This volume collates the writings by activists, directors, performers, critics, scholars and journalists who have documented street theatre around the world. The essays explore the forms these performances can take: agit-prop; invisible theatre; demonstrations and rallies; direct action; puppetry; parades and pageants; performance art; guerrilla theatre; and circuses. The essays look at performances in Europe, Africa, China, India and both the Americas. They describe engagement with issues as diverse as abortion, colonialism, the environment and homophobia.
