Drawing primarily on Judith Butler's, Jacques Derrida's, Emmanuel
Levinas's and Jean-Luc Nancy's reflections on
precariousness/precarity, the Self and the Other, ethical
responsibility/obligation, forgiveness, hos(ti)pitality and
community, the essays in this volume examine the various ways in
which contemporary British drama and theatre engage with 'the
precarious'. Crucially, what emerges from the discussion of a wide
range of plays - including Jez Butterworth's Jerusalem, Caryl
Churchill's Here We Go, Martin Crimp's Fewer Emergencies and In the
Republic of Happiness, Tim Crouch's The Author, Forced
Entertainment's Tomorrow's Parties, David Greig's The American
Pilot and The Events, Dennis Kelly's Love and Money, Mark
Ravenhill's Shoot/Get Treasure/Repeat, Philip Ridley's Mercury Fur,
Robin Soans's Talking to Terrorists, Simon Stephens's Pornography,
theTheatre Uncut project, debbie tucker green's dirty butterfly and
Laura Wade's Posh - is the observation that contemporary (British)
drama and theatre often realises its thematic and formal/structural
potential to the full precisely by reflecting upon the category and
the episteme of precariousness, and deliberately turning audience
members into active participants in the process of negotiating
ethical agency.
