Bennett explores the relationship between theatre and museums, looking particularly at the collaborative processes that intertwine these two cultural practices. She argues that discourses of performance studies can open up new avenues of inquiry about the production and reception of the museum experience and its place in contemporary culture.

Recensioner i media

'A provocative and surprising book, which explores what performance can tell us about how a visitor interacts with a museum collection, and how the archive can be embodied and re-enacted through performance. This book develops a range of theories from performance studies, heritage studies and beyond, and applies them to and extends them through a variety of illuminating case studies.' - Paul Johnson, University of Wolverhampton, UK
