Description
The Contemporary Political Play: Rethinking Dramaturgical Structure by Sarah Grochala explores the politics of contemporary 'political' drama. Grochala examines the origins of the contemporary British political play, tracing its development from the late 19th century to the present day. She argues that the formal structures of contemporary plays are just as politically charged as their content, and offers a new framework for understanding how a play functions politically. Through analysis of experimental dramaturgies in contemporary plays by playwrights such as Caryl Churchill, Simon Stephens, Anthony Neilson, debbie tucker green and Mark Ravenhill, Grochala reveals the ways in which the dramaturgical structure of a play can be a powerful tool for political expression.
