This volume provides a theoretical framework for some of the most
important play-writing in Britain in the second half of the
twentieth century. Examining representative plays by Arnold Wesker,
John Arden, Trevor Griffith, Howard Barker, Howard Brenton, Edward
Bond, David Hare, John McGrath and Caryl Churchill, the author
analyses their respective strategies for persuading audiences of
the need for a radical restructuring of society. The book begins
with a discussion of the way that theatre has been used to convey a
political message. Each chapter is then devoted to an exploration
of the engagement of individual playwrights with left-wing
political theatre, including a detailed analysis of one of their
major plays. Despite political change since the 1980s, political
play-writing continues to be a significant element in contemporary
play-writing, but in a very changed form.
