Focusing on contemporary English theatre, this book asks a series
of questions: How has theatre contributed to understandings of the
North-South divide? What have theatrical treatments of riots
offered to wider debates about their causes and consequences? Has
theatre been able to intervene in the social unease around Gypsy
and Traveller communities? How has theatre challenged white
privilege and the persistent denigration of black citizens? In
approaching these questions, this book argues that the nation is
blighted by a number of internal rifts that pit people against each
other in ways that cast particular groups as threats to the nation,
as unruly or demeaned citizens - as 'social abjects'. It
interrogates how those divisions are generated and circulated in
public discourse and how theatre offers up counter-hegemonic and
resistant practices that question and challenge negative
stigmatization, but also how theatre can contribute to the
recirculation of problematic cultural imaginaries.
