Crucially, what emerges from the discussion of a wide range of plays - including Jez Butterworth's Jerusalem, Caryl Churchill's Here We Go, Martin Crimp's Fewer Emergencies and In the Republic of Happiness, Tim Crouch's The Author, Forced Entertainment's Tomorrow's Parties, David Greig's The American Pilot and The Events, Dennis Kelly's Love and Money, Mark Ravenhill's Shoot/Get Treasure/Repeat, Philip Ridley's Mercury Fur, Robin Soans's Talking to Terrorists, Simon Stephens's Pornography, theTheatre Uncut project, debbie tucker green's dirty butterfly and Laura Wade's Posh - is the observation that contemporary (British) drama and theatre often realises its thematic and formal/structural potential to the full precisely by reflecting upon the category and the episteme of precariousness, and deliberately turning audience members into active participants in the process of negotiating ethical agency. 606 $aDrama$y21st century$xHistory and criticism 607 $aGreat Britain$2fast 610 $aBritish drama/theatre, Twenty-first Century. 610 $aprecariousness, ethics. 615 0$aDrama$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a812.609 702 $aAragay$b Mireia 702 $aMiddeke$b Martin 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809698203321 996 $aOf precariousness$93926162 997 $aUNINA
