What value does theatre have in Britain at the beginning of the
twenty-first century? How has theatre responded to the challenge of
remaining relevant in the media-saturated world of today? These are
the questions that underpin this stimulating study of some of the
leading dramatists of contemporary British theatre. At the Sharp
End sets the scene examining how the forces that created a
revolution in theatre fifty years ago have been replaced by a new
wave of political and social issues. It goes on to explore the ways
in which five key writers have sought to reflect and wrestle with
the changing character of modern Britain. The work of David Edgar,
David Greig, Mark Ravenhill, Tanika Gupta and Tim Etchells' company
Forced Entertainment is considered, with recent plays examined in
detail, an interview with each writer; and suggestions of other
writers and plays for reading and comparison. At the Sharp End
provides the perfect companion for anyone wanting to understand the
changing face of contemporary drama and the writers whose work is
making an impact on our stages today.
