The Spectator and the Spectacle: Audiences in Modernity and Postmodernity
Kennedy, Dennis (Professor Emeritus of Drama, Trinity College, Dublin)

This wide-ranging study addresses these and many other questions, covering many different types of performance events including theatre, sport, television and ritual.
