Had I become disenchanted with the form I had once fallen so madly in love with as a pubescent, pimple-faced suburban homo with braces? Maybe theatre was like an all-consuming high school infatuation that now, ten years later, I saw as the closeted balding guy with a beer gut he’d become. There were of course those rare moments of transcendence that kept me coming back. But why did they come so few and far between?

A perfectly articulated question with an answer I disagree with.

The author creates an incredibly engaging argument about the problems with contemporary theatre that matches many of the gripes I’ve personally had over the years. The concept of the theatre of the unimpressed resonated deeply with me as a theatre practitioner, and I will highly recommend this book to any of my theatre loving friends. I do however, completely disagreed with the author’s solution- I don’t think that avant garde performance art, removing character arcs, embracing untrained citizen actors, building orchestrated moments of failure, embracing flat “Brechtian” style delivery of lines (Wes Anderson films already do this better than we ever could), and essentially removing the actors craft from the medium are the solution. This book made me think hard about what *I* believe possible solutions to the theatre of the unimpressed could be though, and I have come to my own conclusions- for that I am very grateful! 5 stars!
