Within this landmark collection, original voices from the field of drama provide rich analysis of a selection of the most exciting and remarkable plays and productions of the new millennium. Kaleidoscopic in scope, Twenty-First Century Drama: What Happens Now creates a broad, rigorously critical framework for approaching the drama of this period, including its forms, playwrights, companies, institutions, collaborative projects, and directors. The collection has a deliberately British bent, examining established playwrights ? such as Churchill, Brenton, and Hare ? alongside a new generation of writers ? including Stephens, Prebble, Kirkwood, Bartlett, and Kelly. Simultaneously international in scope, it engages with significant new work from the US, Japan, India, Australia, and the Netherlands, to reflect a twenty-first century context that is fundamentally globalized. The volume?s central themes ? the financial crisis, austerity, climate change, new forms of human being, migration, class, race and gender, cultural politics and issues of nationhood ? are mediated through fresh, cutting-edge perspectives. 606 $aTheater?History 606 $aPerforming arts 606 $aTheatre History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/415010 606 $aPerforming Arts$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/415030 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc.$2fast 615 0$aTheater?History. 615 0$aPerforming arts. 615 14$aTheatre History. 615 24$aPerforming Arts. 676 $a792.09 702 $aAdiseshiah$b Siān$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aLePage$b Louise$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255234003321 996 $aTwenty-First Century Drama$92494605 997 $aUNINA
