Notes

² I am grateful to Stephen Bottoms for furnishing me with the precise quotation I am referring to here, a quotation that he has written about at some length himself: ‘The fact is that theatre as we have known and practiced it – the staging of written dramas – will be the string quartet of the twenty-first century: a beloved but extremely limited genre, a subdivision of performance’ (Schechner 1992).

³ The following section owes a debt to the exhibition and subsequent publication: ‘Making Things Public’. See Latour and Weibel (2005).
