Scholarly editions focusing exclusively on contemporary drama and its critical readings are still a rarity, as contemporary literary scholars tend to neglect drama in favour of fiction. Therefore, our contributors have attempted to examine the works of Tom Stoppard, Caryl Churchill, Sarah Kane, Roy Williams, Mark Ravenhill, Thomas Eccleshare, Anders Lutsgarten and Jackie Kay from the perspectives of the major theories by emphasising how key theoretical approaches can help elucidate theatrical texts and their performances from a contemporary critical standpoint.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction — \u003ci\u003eMehmet Akif Balkaya : \u003c\/i\u003eThe Unbearable Absence of Existence: The Post- Structuralist Condition in Tom Stoppard’s \u003ci\u003eAfter Magritte \u003c\/i\u003e— \u003ci\u003eGül Kurtuluş :\u003c\/i\u003e Memory, Gender and Innovation in Caryl Churchill’s \u003ci\u003eCloud Nine\u003c\/i\u003e: The Brechtian Legacy in the Postmodern Theatre — \u003ci\u003eMesut Günenç : \u003c\/i\u003eDeciphering Postdramatic Tragedy in Sarah Kane’s \u003ci\u003ePhaedra’s Love \u003c\/i\u003e— \u003ci\u003eEnes Kavak and Gökçe Akarık : \u003c\/i\u003eNostalgia and Identity Crisis of Black British Characters in Roy Williams’s \u003ci\u003eThe No Boys Cricket Club \u003c\/i\u003e— \u003ci\u003eMustafa Bal : \u003c\/i\u003eApocalypse In- Yer- Face: Mark Ravenhill’s \u003ci\u003eFaust Is Dead \u003c\/i\u003e— \u003ci\u003eÖzlem Karadağ : \u003c\/i\u003eBecoming Human\/ oid: A Posthumanist Critique of Thomas Eccleshare’s \u003ci\u003eInstructions for Correct Assembly \u003c\/i\u003e— \u003ci\u003eHakan Gültekin : \u003c\/i\u003ePost- Neoliberalism, Free Market and Disillusionment: Anders Lustgarten’s \u003ci\u003eIf You Don’t Let Us Dream, We Won’t Let You Sleep \u003c\/i\u003e— \u003ci\u003ePelin Doğan :\u003c\/i\u003e “An International Crossroads of Female Pain.” Intersectional Feminism: Jackie Kay’s \u003ci\u003eChiaroscuro \u003c\/i\u003e— \u003cb\u003eNotes on Contributors .\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51044533829975,"sku":"9783631860229","price":32.78,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783631860229.jpg?v=1750961933","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/new-readings-in-british-drama-from-the-post-war-period-to-the-contemporary-era-9783631860229","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
