Note(s) : "Essential for students of theatre studies, Methuen Drama's Decades of Modern British
Playwriting series provides a comprehensive survey and study of the theatre produced
in each decade from the 1950s to 2009 in six volumes. Each volume features a critical
analysis and reevaluation of the work of four/five key playwrights from that decade
authored by a team of experts, together with an extensive commentary on the period.Edited
by Dan Rebellato, Modern British Playwriting: 2000-2009 provides an authoritative
and stimulating reassessment of the theatre of the decade, together with a detailed
study of the work of David Greig (Nadine Holdsworth), Simon Stephens (Jacqueline Bolton),
Tim Crouch (Dan Rebellato), Roy Williams (Michael Pearce) and Debbie Tucker Green
(Lynette Goddard). The volume sets the context by providing a chronological survey
of the decade, one marked by the War on Terror, the excesses of economic globalization
and the digital revolution. In surveying the theatrical activity and climate, Andrew
Haydon explores the response to the political events, the rise of verbatim theatre,
the increasing experimentation and the effect of both the Boyden Report and changes
in the Arts Council's priorities. Five scholars provide detailed examinations of the
playwrights' work during the decade, combining an analysis of their plays with a study
of other material such as early play drafts and the critical receptions of the time.
Interviews with each playwright further illuminate this stimulating final volume in
the Decades of Modern British Playwriting series" ; "A critical study of the theatre
produced in the first decade of the twenty-first century with an in-depth analysis
of the work of five playwrights"
