| Abstract
|
:
|
In 'Utopia in Performance', Jill Dolan traces the sense of visceral, emotional and social connection that we experience at the theatre, connections that allow us to feel for a moment not what a better world might look like, but what it might feel like, and how that hopeful utopic sentiment might become motivation for social change.
