Abstract/Description Reflection on what constitutes popular theatre in Australia as opposed to political theatre and numbers of attendees verses aesthetic concerns. Considers popular theatre as both a specific form and also as practice of attending/interpreting theatre. Places popular theatre in context of cultural expectations surrounding venues, audience behaviour and dress and experience.
