anti-immigrant sentiment, queerphobia and right-wing nationalism.

range of current debates and ideas surrounding the play. Each
chapter has been carefully selected for its originality and
relevance to your needs. Essays offer new perspectives that provide
an up-to-date understanding of what's exciting and challenging
about the play. Key themes and topics include: · Race and religion
· Gender and sexuality · Philosophy · Animal studies ·
