Cop-Out, Cop-In: Carnival as Political Theatre
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 January 2009
Abstract
In response to the conference on political theatre held last April at the University of Lancaster under the title ‘Points of Contact’, Tim Prentki, Course Director of B.A. Drama and TV Studies at King Alfred's College, Winchester, proposes a new yet very old way of achieving contact between a beleaguered political theatre and its community – the use of the ‘traditionally’ inversionary qualities of carnival to pose highly contemporary questions about the power structures of today's society.
