Dr Benjamin Fowler recently published a new book called Katie Mitchell: Beautiful Illogical Acts (Routledge 2021), which offers the first comprehensive study of Britain’s most internationally recognised, influential, and controversial theatre director. It examines Mitchell’s innovations in fourth-wall realism, opera, and Live Cinema across major British and European institutions, bringing three decades of practice vividly to life.

The book was supported by a grant from The Society for Theatre Research that went towards image reproduction costs and features 19 images, five of which came from the Ivan Kyncl archive acquired by the V&A museum in 2018.
