From Max Reinhardt's lavish open-air spectacles to socialist workers' Laienspiel (lay theater), theater visionaries focused on ever larger groups for entertainment as well as political agitation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDespite wide research on the Soviet and German cases, examples from the Low Countries have hardly been examined. However, mass plays in Flanders and the Netherlands had a distinctive character, displaying an ideological heterogeneity not seen elsewhere. \u003ci\u003eMass Theatre in Inter-War Europe\u003c\/i\u003e places this peculiar phenomenon of the Low Countries in its European context and sheds light on the broader framework of mass movements in the interwar period.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributors:\u003c\/b\u003e Staf Vos (Het Firmament), Karel Vanhaesebrouck (Université Libre de Bruxelles\/Rits), Evelien Jonckheere (Ghent University), Ad van der Logt (Leiden University), Frank Peeters (University of Antwerp)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Leuven University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47063294574832,"sku":"9789058679925","price":65.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789058679925_p0.jpg?v=1763670936","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789058679925","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
