Theatre Critics Launch a Web Journal

Posted by Gail M. Burns - November 2009

Critical Stages is a new web journal founded by the International
Association of Theatre Critics (IATC). The biannual journal, at
www.criticalstages.org, is published in English and French. Critical
Stages contains not only theatre criticism but also interviews and other
articles about theatre seen from a critic’s point of view. The first issue
takes a closer look at e.g. Jerzy Grotowski, Eugene Ionesco and the first IATC Thalia Prize winner Eric Bentley, and reviews Lars Noren’s “Diary,” as well as performances in various countries.

The contributors to this first issue cover countries from all continents:
South Korea, India, Japan, Israel, France, United Kingdom, Hungary, Poland and Greece, Portugal, Finland, USA, Mexico, Canada, Cuba and South Africa. The editor-in-chief is Maria Helena Serodio from Portugal.

IATC, established in 1956, operates through its national sections in some 50 countries.
