  • Writing Figures of Political Resistance for the British Stage Vol1.Pdf
    Writing Figures of Political Resistance for the British Stage Volume One (of Two) Matthew John Midgley PhD University of York Theatre, Film and Television September 2015 Writing Figures of Resistance for the British Stage Abstract This thesis explores the process of writing figures of political resistance for the British stage prior to and during the neoliberal era (1980 to the present). The work of established political playwrights is examined in relation to the socio-political context in which it was produced, providing insights into the challenges playwrights have faced in creating characters who effectively resist the status quo. These challenges are contextualised by Britain’s imperial history and the UK’s ongoing participation in newer forms of imperialism, the pressures of neoliberalism on the arts, and widespread political disengagement. These insights inform reflexive analysis of my own playwriting. Chapter One provides an account of the changing strategies and dramaturgy of oppositional playwriting from 1956 to the present, considering the strengths of different approaches to creating figures of political resistance and my response to them. Three models of resistance are considered in Chapter Two: that of the individual, the collective, and documentary resistance. Each model provides a framework through which to analyse figures of resistance in plays and evaluate the strategies of established playwrights in negotiating creative challenges. These models are developed through subsequent chapters focussed upon the subjects tackled in my plays. Chapter Three looks at climate change and plays responding to it in reflecting upon my creative process in The Ends. Chapter Four explores resistance to the Iraq War, my own military experience and the challenge of writing autobiographically.

  • Europe at the Crossroads
    Europe at the Crossroads Zinnie Harris’s How to Hold Your Breath Janine HAUTHAL Vrije Universiteit Brussel1 “Where Were All the Plays About Brexit?”2: Europe and/in British Theatre When, on the morning of the 24th of June 2016, it turned out that the majority of the British had voted for ‘Brexit’ in the United Kingdom European Union membership referendum, theatre critic Dominic Cavendish wondered publicly on his twitter account why British theatre had failed to tackle this momentous decision proactively. However, as fellow critic Matt Trueman suggested in response: “We might not have seen Brexit: the Musical – and nor would we want to – but many playwrights have explored the social and political factors that fed into the result” (n. pag.). Indeed, since the 1990s, a number of British plays have been set in or concerned with Europe, and Eastern Europe in particular, as e.g. Caryl Churchill’s Mad Forest (1990), Tariq Ali and Howard Brenton’s Moscow Gold (1990), David Greig’s Europe (1994), Sarah Kane’s Blasted (1995), Timberlake Wertenbaker’s The Break of Day (1995) as well as David Edgar’s trilogy The Shape of the Table (1990), Pentecost (1994), and The Prisoner’s Dilemma (2001) demonstrate. The majority of these plays were premiered between 1990 and 1995, i.e. in the years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the disintegration of the ‘Eastern bloc’ and the collapse of communism. They are therefore frequently referred to as ‘post-wall plays’.3 Depicting 1 The research for this article was financed by the Research Foundation – Flanders (FWO).

The Unlisted Character: On the Representation of War and Conflict on the Contemporary Stage Julia Boll PhD University of Edinburgh 2011 Abstract The focus of this dissertation is the theatrical representation of both the individual and war in a time of disintegrating national states and the dramatisation of destruction versus survival as the driving forces on stage. In a study on the future of empire it has been observed that instead of progressing into a peaceful future, the 21 st century has slipped back in time into the nightmare of perpetual and indeterminate state of warfare: ceasing to be the exceptional state, war has become 'the primary organising principle of society', thus echoing Giorgio Agamben's declaration that the state of exception has become the status quo.

Revisiting Fuchs’s ecological approach, this paper will explore the ecological dimensions of studying plays for the present moment against the backdrop of spiralling risk and uncertainty; I am particularly interested in the value of pedagogies of risk and precarity in the context of the current Higher Education landscape and their relevance for play analysis. To this end, I will be partly drawing on Ronald Barnett’s conceptualization of the ‘ecological university’. For Barnett, ‘the ecological university will draw students into a pedagogy of strangeness or of risk, for it is such pedagogies that are likely to extend students so that they may be able to meet the challenges, conceptual, ethical and technological that the twenty-first century will assuredly face them with’ (2017: 149).

    MEDIA CONTACT: Bernie Fabig, Marketing & Publicity Manager 310-756-2428 • [email protected] The first production of A Noise Within’s 2019-2020 Season: THEY PLAYED WITH FIRE Frankenstein By Nick Dear From the novel by Mary Shelley Directed by Michael Michetti Aug. 11 – Sept. 8, 2019 (Press Opening Weekend – Aug. 17 & 18) Pasadena, Calif. (July 17, 2019) – A Noise Within (ANW), California’s acclaimed classic repertory theatre company, is proud to announce the California Premiere of Nick Dear’s Frankenstein, directed by Michael Michetti and adapted from the original novel by Mary Shelley. The first play of ANW’s 2019-2020 season, THEY PLAYED WITH FIRE, will run as a stand-alone production from Aug. 11 through Sept. 8, 2019. An instant international sensation, Frankenstein was first captured live in 2011 on London’s National Theatre stage in celebration of the novel’s 200th anniversary. Distributed to cinemas across the globe, the original production was directed by Academy Award®-winner Danny Boyle and starred Benedict Cumberbatch alternating between the roles of Dr. Victor Frankenstein and the Creature. There will be press performances on Saturday, Aug. 17 at 8 p.m. and Sunday, Aug. 18 at 2 p.m. This electrifying tale of a creature cast away by his creator into a hostile world—only to wind his way back in a dangerous game of destruction—has captivated audiences for over 200 years. The gothic story comes to life with Nick Dear’s adaptation of the chilling fable by Mary Shelley, animating the themes of social rejection, intellectual hubris, and the nascency of good and evil.
