"The result is a brilliant analysis that contributes to contemporary aesthetic and political discourse and outlines forms and goals of spatial aspects of lived experience. Dramaturgy and Architecture contributes crucial analysis to the blooming interdisciplinary field between theatre and architecture, providing highly productive arguments for anyone interested in performance theory, architecture, and space studies, as well as those interested in new models for cohabitation." (Adela Bravo Sauras, Contemporary Theatre Review, Vol. 27 (3), November, 2017) "The book offers a series of perceptive readings of moments and movements in modernist theatre and performance whilst also linking these to contemporary postdramatic work. an important addition to emerging debates on the relationship between theatre, architecture and the built environment, demonstrating how thinking dramaturgically can contribute to understandings of contemporary critical spatial practice. Turner has contributed a rich and productive articulation of the role and function of dramaturgy in relation to theatre, architecture and everyday life." (Andrew Filmer, Studies in Theatre and Performance, 2016) "This book, despite its address to an academic audience, is an important one for alternative walkers, urban explorers, psychogeographers and urban activists. Its author, Cathy Turner, draws in very particular ways upon materials from theatre and architecture.


this is a fabulous resource of ideas, narratives and practices for researchers, practitioners and activists operating in the gaps, voids and multiplicities of everyday space." (Crab Man, Mythogeography, mythogeography.com, December, 2015).
