Preliminary scope of work in English

In the first part of my diploma thesis, I would like to bring to the reader's attention the concept of In-Yer-Face Theatre and investigate the life and work of three of its playwrights. The main attention will be paid to three plays (one by each of the authors who belong to the major representatives of In-Yer-Face Theatre of the so-called 'New Writing') on which I would like to demonstrate the in-yer-face themes in the context of 1990s British theatre.
