This guide offers a comprehensive account of British theatre from
the 1960s to the present day. Placing critical commentary at the
heart of its analysis, it explores how theatre critics and scholars
have sought to understand and write about modern theatre, from the
earliest reviews to revivals appearing decades later. With studies
of contemporary reviews and archival material, Contemporary British
Drama offers readers the opportunity to learn about British theatre
in its original context and to chart shifting critical perceptions
over the decades. It provides a crucial juxtaposition between the
development of British theatre and its contemporaneous critical
response, supplying an invaluable insight into the critical climate
of recent decades. From feminist playwrighting to In-Yer-Face
theatre, this is the ideal companion for undergraduate students of
literature and theatre in need of an introduction to the debates
surrounding contemporary British drama.
