Summary, Etc.
  • Summary, etc. - "...an attempt toward a theorization of cosmopolitanism via Philippne theatre. The book's concept is premised on a sense of belonging in a community of strangers; this comes from the firm conviction that theatre, by nature, prepares its audience to engage in a community which is both local and global. The vibrant Manila theatre scene is used as takeoff point in articulating this argument..."
