Abstract

The voices of theatre artists working within a rural environment have traditionally been occluded by the cultural commentators and critics who define the ultimate ‘value’ of performance, in terms of its historical contextualization and record. This article, focusing upon the collaborative approaches to dramaturgical and performance practice of British companies making professional theatre for/and with rural communities over the past 30 years, challenges the metro-centric view of theatre history and proposes a definition for a new genre: Rural Theatre.
