Committing Theatre offers the first full-length historical study of political intervention theatre and theatrical spectatorship in English Canada. Building on twenty years of research and engagement in the field; this bookrsquo;s historical narrative frames close-up examples of how theatre artists have intervened in and engaged with political struggle from the mid-19th century to the present. Lumber-camp mock trials; Mayday parades and street protests; the Workers Theatre Movement; agitprop theatre; the counter-culture theatre of the 1960s and 1970s; and more recent anarchist theatre collectives all played a role in a vibrant and unique radical theatre culture that went largely unnoticed; unrecorded; and undocumented by the professional theatre establishment.
