Zusammenfassung:It is a fact that today's British stages resound with powerfully innovative voices and that, very often, these voices have been those of young women playwrights. This collection of essays gives visibility and pride of place to these fascinating voices by exploring the vitality, inventiveness and particularly strong relevance of these poetics. These women playwrights sometimes invent radically new forms and sometimes experiment with conventional ones in fresh and unexpected ways, as for example when they re-energize naturalism and provide it with new missions. The plays that are addressed are all concerned with the necessity to grasp the complexity of the contemporary world and to further investigate what it means to be human. Intimate or epic, and sometimes both at once, visionary or closer to everyday life, these plays approach the contemporary world through a multitude of prisms - historical, scientific, political and poetic - and open different and visionary perspectives
Today's British stages resound with powerfully innovative voices and, very often, these voices have been those of a new wave of British women playwrights. These women invent radically new forms and experiment with conventional ones in fresh and unexpected ways, as for example when they re-energize naturalism and provide it with new missions. This volume explores the vitality, inventiveness and particularly strong relevance of these new poetics
