(2017) Immersive theatre and audience experience, Basingstoke, Palgrave Macmillan.
The concluding chapter returns to the book's major findings about immersive audience experience: its definitions, qualities and concepts; its relationship(s) with narrative, environment and interactivity; and the implicit invitation to an "immersive experience" that is promised by "immersive theatre." The chapter discusses several sites of further enquiry following the book's theoretical approach towards "immersive theatre" and "immersive experience," including critical analysis of political motivations and aesthetic considerations, and further artistic experiments in content, form and tone. The chapter outlines questions, problems and challenges for future makers of immersive theatre and proposes an outlook for the form that is generally optimistic, concluding by inviting further exploration into the work of Punchdrunk and the genre of immersive theatre as a whole.
