Metatheatre

Metatheatre illustrates some of the ways in which reality and illusion seep into both life and drama, allowing the play and world to become one. Also, metatheatre in its own artificiality prompts the audience not only to consider the various themes as they might arise in their own experience, but also to question the entire nature of reality in this world.
