Within this landmark collection, original voices from the field of
drama provide rich analysis of a selection of the most exciting and
remarkable plays and productions of the twenty-first century. But
what makes the drama of the new millenium so distinctive? Which
events, themes, shifts, and paradigms are marking its stages?
Kaleidoscopic in scope, Twenty-First Century Drama: What Happens
Now creates a broad, rigorously critical framework for approaching
the drama of this period, including its forms, playwrights,
companies, institutions, collaborative projects, and directors. The
collection has a deliberately British bent, examining established
playwrights - such as Churchill, Brenton, and Hare - alongside a
new generation of writers - including Stephens, Prebble, Kirkwood,
Bartlett, and Kelly. Simultaneously international in scope, it
engages with significant new work from the US, Japan, India,
Australia, and the Netherlands, to reflect a twenty-first century
context that is fundamentally globalized. The volume's central
themes - the financial crisis, austerity, climate change, new forms
of human being, migration, class, race and gender, cultural
politics and issues of nationhood - are mediated through fresh,
cutting-edge perspectives.
