Wilson, Mike (2005) Storytelling and Theatre: Contemporary Professional Storytellers and their Art. Theatre and Performance Practices . Palgrave Macmillan, Basingstoke, Hampshire, UK. ISBN 9781403906656

Abstract / Summary

This book will be of particular interest to undergraduates of performing arts and the substantial community of those engaged in storytelling, filling a noticeable void in an emerging field of scholarship. Michael Wilson addresses the recent rise of storytelling as a professional performance art by providing a critical survey of current practice and a critical framework for those debates currently taking place, and those debates which will undoubtedly emerge in future. The text includes critical analysis of a range of practices alongside interviews with key contemporary practitioners about their work.
