It details the challenges the theatre faced, especially reductions in government funding, and examines seminal playwrights of the period? including but not limited to Caryl Churchill, Howard Brenton, Sarah Daniels, David Edgar, and Brian Friel? who dramatized a more inclusive vision of history that gave voice to traditionally marginalized communities. It employs James Baldwin?s concept of witnessing as the means by which history could be deployed to articulate an alternative and emergent political narrative:?the history we haven?t had?. This book will appeal to students and scholars of theatre and cultural studies as well as theatre practitioners and enthusiasts. 650 0 $a Theater $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a English drama $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a PERFORMING ARTS / Theater / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a English drama. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00910737 650 7 $a Theater. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01149217 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9783319966861 830 0 $a Palgrave studies in theatre and performance history. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213014155.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A79FC3BA462211E9A3F20F6897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
