Presenting a rigorous critical investigation of the reinvigoration
of the political in contemporary British theatre, Ecologies of
Precarity in Twenty-First Century Theatre provides a fresh
understanding of how theatre has engaged with precarity, affect,
risk, intimacy, care and relationality in recent times. The study
makes a compelling case for reading precarity as a 'sticky'
theatrical trope which carries the potential to re-animate our
understanding of identity politics and responsibility for the lives
of Others in an age of uncertainty. Approaching precarity as an
ecology cutting across various practices, themes and aesthetics,
the book features a comprehensive selection of theatre examples
staged in the UK since the 1990s. Works by debbie tucker green,
Alistair McDowall, Complicite, Simon Stephens, Stan's Cafe, Mike
Bartlett, Caryl Churchill, The Paper Birds, and Belarus Free
Theatre are put in dialogue with interdisciplinary feminist
vocabularies developed by Judith Butler, Sara Ahmed, Lauren Berlant
and Isabell Lorey. In focusing on areas such as children and youth
at risk, human rights, environmental ethics and the politics of
debt, the study makes a vital contribution to the burgeoning field
of politics and theatre in the 21st century.
