Incapacity and Theatricality

Politics and Aesthetics in Theatre Involving Actors with Intellectual Disabilities

Incapacity and Theatricality acknowledges the distinctive contribution to contemporary theatre made by actors with intellectual disabilities. This book offers an analysis of how these actors have emerged onto the main stage, and how their inclusion calls into question long-held assumptions about theatre and intellectual disability.
