Political Theatre in Post-Thatcher Britain: New Writing, 1995-2005

By Amelia Howe Kritzer

Book Overview

The 'in-yer-face' plays of the mid-1990s announced a new generation shaped by Thatcherism and defined by antipathy to social ideals and political involvement. They have generated thoughtful and lively responses from playwrights. The resulting dialogue has brought politics to the forefront of British drama and reinvigorated British theatre.
