Abstract or Description

This article exposes the extent to which theatre and theatricality informed the Situationist International's notion of the "constructed situation". Taking the examples of productions created by contemporary UK-based performance makers Graeme Miller and Corin Sworn, the article goes on to argue that the situationist constructed situation enables the important social and cultural importance of some contemporary theatre to be valued. Reciprocally, such theatre ensures an enduring significance to the conception of the constructed situation.
