O knihe

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 twenty-first century. But what makes the drama of the new millenium so distinctive? Which events, themes, shifts, and paradigms are marking its stages? 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.
