Description
Contemporary British Theatre explores the complex and dynamic theatre of the eighties and early nineties, reflecting a country that is multicultural, multiethnic and multinational. This survey delves into the unique forms of theatre performance devised to express the tensions and pressures of our time.
The contributors - artists, scholars and critics - offer valuable insights into this period of British theatre. For the paperback edition, a new preface has been written, including several updating pieces from individual contributors, providing a fresh perspective on this dynamic art form.
