Are you a theatre-maker looking for devising tools? A writer
wanting to improve your dialogue? A director trying to create a
story through improvisation? Three Plays by Squint & How They
Were Made brings three of the company's plays together with the
methods used to create them, in a practical, user-friendly toolkit.
Three of Squint's plays - created by Lee Anderson, Adam Foster and
Andrew Whyment - are published here for the first time. At the
heart of each, a character is struggling to process their personal
trauma under the intense glare of the public eye. Long Story Short
(2014) dissects journalism in the digital age, Molly (2015) takes a
reality television-style journey into the mind of a sociopath, and
The Incredible True Story of the Johnstown Flood (2021) embarks on
a transatlantic exploration of class, exploitation and
appropriation. Developed over ten years through Squint's education
programme, the exercises in this book distil the company's
collaborative practice into over 25 tools for writing and devising.
The Squint Toolkit covers the entire theatre-making process, from
carrying out research and improvising story to writing subtext,
devising from music and making cuts.

questions, writing high-quality responses and using critical
interpretations, plus practice tasks and annotated sample answer
extracts. Key skills covered: focused tasks to develop your

What distinguishes modern tragedy from other forms of drama? How
does it relate to contemporary political and social conditions? To
what ends have artists employed the tragic form in different
locations during the 20th century? Partly motivated by the urgency
of our current situation in an age of ecocidal crisis, Modern
Tragedy encompasses a variety of drama from throughout the 20th
century. James Moran begins this book with John Millington Synge's
Riders to the Sea (1904), which shows how environmental awareness
might be expressed through tragic drama. Moran also looks at
Brecht's reworking of Synge's drama in the 1937 play Senora
Carrar's Rifles, and situates Brecht's script in the light of the
theatre practitioner's broader ideas about tragedy. Brecht's tragic
thinking - informed by Hegel and Marx - is contrasted with the
Schopenhauerian approach of Samuel Beckett. The volume goes on to
examine theatre makers whose ideas were partly motivated by
applying an understanding of the tragic narrative of Synge's Riders
to the Sea to postcolonial contexts. Looking at Derek Walcott's The
Sea at Dauphin (1954), and J.P. Clark's The Goat (1961), Modern
Tragedy explores how tragedy, a form that is often associated with
regressive assumptions about hegemony, might be rethought, and how
aspects of the tragic may coincide with the experiences and
concerns of authors and audiences of colour.
This collection brings together three international and
contemporary plays that each denounce violence against women,
alongside interviews with the creators and practitioners who
brought them to life. With interviews with writers, directors and
producers, who discuss the conception and staging of their plays,
their hope is to de-glamourize the staging of violence, to give
voice to the survivors of gendered violence, and to create
awareness and empathy within the audiences. Little Stitches
(London, 2014): four short pieces by Isley Lynn, Raul Quiros Molina
, Bahar Brunton and Karis E. Halsall on the issue of Female Genital
Mutilation as seen from the point of view of by-standers, health
professionals, women who support the practice and, finally,
survivors. 'Kubra' (Sydney, 2016) by Dacia Maraini, features a
young female protagonist who was subjected to FGM/C as a child, and
now brings her case to court. Rape Trial (Rome, 2018), adapted for
theatre by Renato Chiocca from the international award-winning
documentary of the same title made for Italian state television in
1979, shows how attitudes toward sexual violence, and judicial
procedures, tend to turn rape survivors from accusers into accused,
in court and in everyday discourse.
