Written by an international team of scholars, it provides an illuminating survey and analysis of each writer's plays and will be invaluable to anyone interested in, studying or teaching contemporary drama.

Among the many playwrights whose work is examined are Sarah Daniels, Terry Johnson, Martin Crimp, Sarah Kane, Anthony Neilson, Mark Ravenhill, Simon Stephens, debbie tucker green, Tanika Gupta and Richard Bean.
Each essay features: (1) a biographical sketch and introduction to the playwright, (2) a discussion of their most important plays, (3) an analysis of their stylistic and thematic traits, the critical reception and their place in the discourses of British theatre, (4) a bibliography of texts and critical material.
