Aural/Oral Dramaturgies: Theatre in the Digital Age focuses on the 'aural turn' in contemporary theatre-making, examining a number of seemingly disparate trends that foreground speech and sound -- 'post-verbatim' theatre, 'amplified storytelling' (works using microphones and headphones), and 'gig theatre' that incorporates live music performance. The book's case studies draw on the ways in which a range of theatre companies engage with the dramaturgy of speech and sound in their work. This is a key text for anyone working with dramaturgies of orality and aurality in today's performance environment.
