Description
reframing the Nation: British Theatre Today explores the context and key concerns that have shaped new plays in Britain over the past decade. Aleks Sierz examines how playwrights have responded to issues such as foreign policy, economic change, divided communities, and questions of identity and race. The book provides an in-depth look at the leading theatres, including the Royal Court, Traverse, Bush, Hampstead, National, London fringe, and touring companies. It also considers how domestic issues like family, love, growing up, and the human psyche have been re-examined through new writing. Against the backdrop of economic, political, and social change under New Labour, Sierz shows how British theatre has responded to these changes, contributing to a project of reframing the nation.
