This book examines a series of contemporary plays where writers put
theatre itself on stage. The texts examined variously dramatize how
theatre falls short in response to the demands of violence, expose
its implication in structures of violence-including racism and
gender-based violence-and illustrate how it might effectively
resist violence through reconfiguring representation. Case studies,
which include Jackie Sibblies Drury's We Are Proud to Present and
Fairview, Ella Hickson's The Writer and Tim Crouch's The Author,
provide a range of practice-based perspectives on the question of
whether theatre is capable of accounting for and expressing the
complexities of structural and interpersonal violence as both lived
in the body and borne out in society. The book will appeal to
scholars and artists working in the areas of violence, theatre and
ethics, witnessing, memory and trauma, spectatorship and
contemporary dramaturgy, as well as to those interested in both the
doubts and dreams we have about the role of theatre in the
twenty-first century.
