Summary: This monograph undertakes the task of analysing the dynamics of the communication between the stage and the audience in what has been commonly referred to as in-yer-face drama . Rather than use the existing term the study proposes the aesthetic category of the sublime, which proves to be more fruitful, as it offers more precise tools for the analysis of the audience s aesthetic response than does in-yer-face theatre.
