This book argues that theatre and drama help us to understand the concern about ‘fake news’. Moran shows that ‘fake news’ has arisen in the twenty-first century through what are essentially a series of performance contexts. Although the concept of ‘fake news’ has developed to great prominence since 2016, there is a much longer history of theatre makers and thinkers grappling with the ideas that underpin our modern worries about misinformation being distributed in the press, in broadcast news, and via social media.

‘It is quite simply brilliant; highly scholarly but very readable, deeply critical but accessible, really intelligent and beautifully written. James Moran takes us on the dark journey of fake news, its histories, and contemporary applications and how our theatre makers have responded, often in ingenious ways, to our designed stupidification. Highly recommended!’ —Dr Gary Anderson, Associate Professor of Drama, Liverpool Hope University, UK.
