Includes three related performance texts for undergraduate performance which take Mikhail Bakhtin's theory of Carnival as a starting point for an exploration of physical, moral and cultural upheaval in a post-modern age. In this title, the texts make use of contemporary post-Brechtian performance theory in an attempt to present a new dystopia.

This book comprises three related dramatic works, all of which use Russian theorist Mikhail Bakhtin''s concept of carnival, a literary style designed to subvert dominant assumptions through chaos and humour. The texts blur the distinction between spectator and performer in an exploration of physical, moral and cultural upheaval in a postmodern age.
