"[This] wide-ranging book offers multiperspectival analyses of sex in museums. . . . Engaging with research across a variety of disciplines (museology, performance studies, sexuality studies, and queer theory in particular) alongside a confident autoethnographic approach, Tyburczy also deploys other strategies, such as interviews, descriptions of curatorial practice, and sections of performative writing. . . . Not only, then, is this book a vital contribution to scholarship on the censorship of sex and sexuality that has long been politically important to theatre and performance studies scholarship, but it also contributes innovative and compelling methodologies for the work of political resistance so urgently demanded by our extraordinary times." --Theatre Journal, Susan Bennett
