Please note: I will be absent on 19.2.2020, classes will begin on the 26.2.2020 Course Description: This course explore the wealth of new writing that has appeared on British stages from 1995 to the present. Our point of departure will be Aleks Sierz’ book In-Yer-Face Theatre: British Drama Today (2000) and some of the writers he discusses in relation to the theatre of provocation that hit the Anglophone theatre world in the mid-1990s. At the heart of the seminar will be the question of theatre’s relationship with the political, ethics, affect and spectatorship. Our readings will combine recent theoretical works on these issues with plays and performances from the period. The course will begin with exploring what is meant by New Writing in the contemporary British theatre context before moving on to more theoretical readings concerning performance and politics, crisis and affect. After establishing a critical vocabulary the remainder of the seminar will bring these ideas to bear on work by Sarah Kane, Mark Ravenhill, David Greig, Martin Crimp, Caryl Churchill, Tim Crouch, Andy Smith, debbie tucker green and Alice Birch.
