Theatre criticism
Theatre criticism is a genre of art criticism, and the act of writing or speaking about the performing arts such as a play or opera.
Some major newspapers cover the arts in some form and theatre criticism may be included as a part of this arts coverage. In the 21st century theatre criticism has grown in online venues, such as e-magazines and blogs, while criticism in newspapers has shrunk.[1] Recent research shows that despite the different medium, online critics may be as trusted as theatre critics who write for newspapers.[2]
Specialist media exists to cover most artistic disciplines, in this field one such publication is The Stage (see our theatre magazines category for more).
