Daphne Lei and Charlotte McIvor - The Methuen Drama Handbook of Interculturalism and Performance

To Milo, Rafe, and Theo

Methuen Drama Handbooks is a series of single-volume reference works which map the parameters of a discipline or sub-discipline and present the state-of-the-art in terms of research. Each handbook and companion offers a systematic and structured range of specially commissioned essays reflecting on the history, methodologies, research methods, current debates, and future of a particular field of research. Methuen Drama Handbooks provide researchers and graduate students with both cutting-edge perspectives on perennial questions and authoritative overviews of the history of research.
