The first of its kind, this companion to British-Jewish theatre
brings a neglected dimension in the work of many prominent British
theatre-makers to the fore. Its structure reflects the historical
development of British-Jewish theatre from the 1950s onwards,
beginning with an analysis of the first generation of writers that
now forms the core of post-war British drama (including Tom
Stoppard, Harold Pinter and Arnold Wesker) and moving on to
significant thematic force-fields and faultlines such as the
Holocaust, antisemitism and Israel/Palestine. The book also covers
the new generation of British-Jewish playwrights, with a special
emphasis on the contribution of women writers and the role of
particular theatres in the development of British-Jewish theatre,
as well as TV drama. Included in the book are fascinating
interviews with a set of significant theatre practitioners working
today, including Ryan Craig, Patrick Marber, John Nathan, Julia
Pascal and Nicholas Hytner. The companion addresses, not only
aesthetic and ideological concerns, but also recent transformations
with regard to institutional contexts and frameworks of cultural
policies.
