Theatres of Learning Disability
Palgrave Macmillan (Verlag)
978-1-349-70023-3 (ISBN)
This is the first scholarly book to focus exclusively on theatre and learning disability as theatre, rather than advocacy or therapy.
Winner of the TaPRA New Career Research in Theatre/Performance Prize 2016
This is the first scholarly book to focus exclusively on theatre and learning disability as theatre, rather than advocacy or therapy. Hargrave provocatively realigns the - hitherto unvoiced - assumptions that underpin such practice and proposes that learning disabled artists have earned the right to full critical review.
