An international, peer-reviewed journal, Studies in Theatre and Performance publishes work that explores theatre and performance practice across histories, cultures and disciplinary boundaries. Our articles reflect a broad spectrum of methodological enquiry, and encompass research informed by personal practice, direct observation of/engagement with practitioners, and critical engagement with play-texts and performances.

STP is sponsored by the Standing Conference of University Drama Departments UK and reflects that organisation’s commitment to supporting teaching and learning in Drama in its broadest sense. We are particularly keen to encourage early career researchers and teachers working in the discipline. STP aspires to contribute to the expansion of academic vocabularies, methodologies and ways of writing beyond the established forms of standard Anglophone scholarship, and we welcome submissions from scholars writing from African, Asian, Oceanic and Latin American contexts.
