Why Do Actors Get Stage Fright? What Is So Embarrassing About Joining In? Why Not Work With Animals And Children, And Why Is It So Hard Not To Collapse Into Helpless Laughter When Things Go Wrong? In Trying To Answer These Questions - Usually Ignored By Theatre Scholarship But Of Enduring Interest To Theatre Professionals And Audiences Alike - Nicholas Ridout Attempts To Explain The Relationship Between These Apparently Unwanted And Anomalous Phenomena And The Wider Social And Political Meanings Of The Modern Theatre.
