Playing for Time in "The Dolls' House". Issues of Community and Collaboration in the Devising of Theatre in a Women's Prison
McKean, Annie
Research in Drama Education, v11 n3 p313-327 Nov 2006
This article focuses on aspects of devising and staging a play written for a group of women prisoners. The project raised issues concerning the nature of community theatre in secure institutions. Arts work in a community context is often predicated on notions of intervention and transformation. A central question underpinning the project concerned the nature of transformation through theatre on a personal level, within the institution and through debates with audience members who came to see the piece. (Contains 5 notes.)
