内容説明

Contemporary British Theatre surveys the complex and dynamic theatre of the eighties and early nineties reflecting a country that is multicultural, multiethnic and multinational. The contributors - artists, scholars and critics - offer insights into the unique forms of theatre performance devised to express the tensions and pressures of our time. The productions discussed include the recent work of internationally-known playwrights such as Timberlake Wertenbaker, Howard Barker, Caryl Churchill, Steven Berkoff, Edward Bond, David Edgar and Tony Harrison; the new generation of directors including Deborah Warner, Sam Mendes, Jatinder Verma, Richard Jones, Jenny Killick and Declan Donnellan; designers such as Bob Crowley, Alison Chitty, Richard Hudson, Maria Bjornson, Hayden Griffin, Anthony Ward, David Filding, Mark Thompson; and theatre co-operatives such as Welfare State International, the People Show, DV8 Physical Theatre, Theatre de Complicite, Forced Entertainment, Cardiff Laboratory Theatre, Magdalena Project, Communicado, Brith Gof, Moving Being and Man Act. For the paperback edition a new preface has been written, including several updating pieces from individual contributors.
