What is Backstage in the Theatre about?

**Backstage in the theatre** Observations undertaken in the operating theatre suggested that the social environment, and certain forms of staff behaviour could be explained using the space analysis developed by Erving Goffman (1969) in __The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life__. In the study reported in this paper the theatre department was found to be a strongly ‘backstage’ area. However, it was also found that there were limits to this analysis, and these are explained within this article. Some practical suggestions as to how this analysis might be helpful in the management of health care institutions and the education of health care professionals are made.
