lnvisible theatre is public theatre which involves the general public as participants in the dramatic action without their knowing it. They become the spec-actors. There is little obvious theatrical context with an audience in Invisible Theatre. The idea is that an issue can be raised without advertising that this is a piece of theatre. It is important that the audience should remain unaware that they have seen an action. Invisible theatre is a way of using theatre to stimulate debate by getting the public to question issues in a public space. The audience can take up any position they wish on the issue. This type of theatre asks questions without dictating the answers.
