It considers how applied theatre's relationship with local and global economies can be understood from different theoretical and philosophical perspectives. It also examines a range of ways in which applied theatre can be resourced, identifying key issues  and seeking possibilities for theatre makers to sustain their work without undermining their social and artistic values.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe international case studies in Part Two give vivid insights into the day-to-day challenges of  resourcing applied theatre work in Chile, Canada, the UK, New Zealand, Hong Kong and the US. The authors examine critical issues or points of tension that have arisen in a particular funding relationship or from specific economic activities. Each study also illuminates ways in which applied theatre makers can bring artistic and social justice principles to bear on financial and organizational processes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e“Molly Mullen's \u003ci\u003eApplied Theatre: Economies \u003c\/i\u003eis an insightful contribution that further troubles simplistic binaries framing socially engaged theatre and the ways in which it might negotiate the neoliberal economy while maintaining ethical, intellectual and aesthetic integrity.
