This scholarly study examines the work of the French playwright, poet and filmmaker Armand Gatti, whose politically engaged theatre emerged from post-war European experimental drama.

Knowles provides a detailed critical analysis of Gatti’s theatrical productions and writings, situating them within the broader context of twentieth-century avant-garde theatre and political performance. The volume includes twenty black-and-white photographic plates illustrating productions and archival material related to Gatti’s work.

The book features an illustrated dust jacket with artwork by French painter and illustrator Raymond Moretti.
